urinary tract

The urinary tract is a group of organs that work together to produce, store, and eliminate urine, the liquid waste produced by the body. It includes the kidneys (which filter blood and create urine), the ureters (tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder), the bladder (a storage organ for urine), and the urethra (the tube through which urine exits the body). This system helps maintain the body's fluid and chemical balance while removing waste products, ensuring the body's optimal functioning. Proper functioning of the urinary tract is essential for good health.
