think of the first one you used after waking up and going to the bathroom.
The urinary system rids the body of nitrogen containing wastes. The kidneys filter the wastes from the bloodstream and produce urine which then travels through the rest of the urinary system to be eliminated from the body.
Urinary - Rids body of nitrogen containing wastes & Conserves body water or eliminates excesses. Includes the Kidneys, bladder, & ureter

The Urinary System rids the body of nitrogen-containing waste (urea, uric acid, and ammonia), which result from the breakdown of proteins and nucleic acids by the body's cells. It also maintains water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance of blood.
Cells produce ammonia and urea as waste products containing nitrogen when they break down proteins. These waste products are subsequently excreted by the body through processes such as urination and sweating.

Nitrogen is produced when the body breaks down proteins for energy.
It helps you eliminate wastes (for example: excess Nitrogen) from the body.
The majority of nitrogen which enters the body does so in the form of protein, which is composed of amino acids. Once the protein is broken down into these subunits, it enters the bloodstream where the cells of the body can absorb it and use it in many different ways. Excess amino acids (and thus excess nitrogen), along with cellular wastes containing nitrogen, are eventually filtered out of the blood by the kidneys and excreted in the urine in the form of urea, a waste product.
The main body cavities containing internal organs are the thoracic cavity (contains heart and lungs), abdominal cavity (contains digestive organs), and pelvic cavity (contains reproductive organs). These cavities protect and support the organs, and are lined by membranes called serous membranes.
