(Ureters) The urinary system, also known as the renal system, is responsible for filtering the blood, removing waste products and regulating the body's fluid balance. The main organs of the urinary system include the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra.
Kidneys. The kidneys are a pair of being shaped organs located in the upper abdomen on either side of the spine. They are responsible for filtering the blood and removing waste products such as urea and creatinine. From the body. The kidneys also help to regulate the body's electrolyte balance, such as sodium and potassium and blood pressure. They also produce hormones that regulate red blood cell production and promote bone health.
The kidneys filter the blood through small structures called nephrons, which remove waste products and excess water from the blood to form urine. The urine then flows through the renal pelvis, which is the funnel like structure at the center of each kidney and into the authorities Your reader's the your readers are a pair of thin muscular tubes that transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder.
The ureters readers use a series of muscular contractions called peristalsis to move urine through the urinary tract. The your readers also have a valve like structure at the junction with the bladder called the Urethra Vesicle Junction, which prevents urine from flowing back into the kidneys. Bladder. The bladder is a muscular sac located in the lower abdomen that stores urine until it is eliminated from the body.
The walls of the bladder are composed of smooth muscle, which allows the bladder to expand as it fills with urine. The bladder also has a muscle called the urinary sphincter, which controls the release of urine. The bladder can stretch and hold up to 40,600 milliliters of urine before the person feels the urge to urinate. Urethra. The urethra is a tube like structure that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body.
In males, the urethra is longer approximately 20 centimeters in length and also carries semen during ejaculation In females, the urethra is shorter, approximately four centimeters in length and located closer to the clitoris and vaginal opening. The urethra is lined with mucous membrane and has a rich blood supply which helps to prevent infection and injury. That's it for today.
