The urinary system serves multifaceted roles, extending beyond the excretion of waste products This section explores the intricate mechanisms by which the urinary system actively removes waste products and maintains several delicate balances within the body
- Anatomy and Function of the Urinary System
The kidney and urinary systems help the body to get rid of liquid waste called urea They also help to keep chemicals (such as potassium and sodium) and water in balance

The urinary or renal system is in charge of producing, storing, and disposing of urine This system consists of 2 kidneys, 2 ureters, the bladder, and the urethra The kidneys form the urine by filtering the blood Then the urine gets stored in the bladder after it passes through the ureters Healthy people excrete 1-2 liters of urine a day, and healthy kidneys have a pH around 6 5 When the

The effects of failure of parts of the urinary system may range from inconvenient (incontinence) to fatal (loss of filtration and many others) The kidneys catalyze the final reaction in the synthesis of active vitamin D that in turn helps regulate Ca ++ The kidney hormone EPO stimulates erythrocyte development and promotes adequate O 2 transport The kidneys help regulate blood pressure

Over a long period, this increases the risk of serious complications such as heart attacks, strokes, and aneurysms It can also contribute to system-wide edema (swelling) Mechanisms for regulating Na + concentration include the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system and ADH (see Chapter 25 Figure 25 4 2)
