Urinary System
 The urinary system is a
set of organs in charge
of extracting waste
products from the
blood produced by the
cellular metabolism, to
be expelled later.
 Components of the urinary system
 The secretory organs: The kidneys
 The excretory or urinary route: which
collects urine to be expelled. It's formed by:
 The ureters, carry urine from the kidneys
to the urinary bladder.
 Bladder, receptacle where urine
collects.
 The urethra, a tube through which the
urine exits towards the outside, being
short in the woman and longer in the
man.
 Kidneys
 The kidneys are bean-
shaped organs, located on
the sides of the spine and
extending slightly above
the waist.
 Each kidney contains
more than a million basic
units called nephrons,
inside which the urine is
formed, each nephron
ends in a collecting tube,
which collects the urine
formed and pours it to the
renal pelvis.
The functions of this system can be synthesized in:
Produce, save (bladder) and eliminate urine.
Eliminate, through urine, waste that is not used by
the body.
Adjust the volume and chemical composition of the
blood.
Help in the production and regulation of red blood
cells (red blood cells). Provide the necessary balance
of minerals (sodium, calcium, iron, phosphorus,
magnesium ...).
 IMPORTANCE OF THE URINARY SYSTEM
The importance of the urinary system is that it filters blood and
disposes of the waste materials and extra fluid from the body.

The kidneys are the principal components of the urinary system ;

they act as filters and homeostasis regulators.

The do this by:

Preventing the buildup of wastes and extra fluid.
Maintaining the levels of electrolytes like potassium
and phosphates.
Producing blood pressure regulating hormones.
The rest of the urinary system comprises the ureters bladder and
urethra which collect , store and release urine.
