The urinary system disposes of urine which is excess water and the liquid waste dissolved in it from your body. The main parts are the kidneys, where the urine is filtered out from the blood stream. The ureter which are tubes that carry the urine to the bladder where the urine is stored. The bladder connects to the urethra from which the urine leaves the body.

Without medical intervention, if both kidneys fail to function, the waste material in the urine build up in the blood stream causing illness and death

What body system conserves body water and eliminates waste?

Our kidneys help to remove waste products from the blood, particularly nitrogen containing compounds. These we produce as a result of eating protein, but the body has little use for the spare Nitrogen compounds. The kidneys also keep the sodium and potassium levels in the balance the body needs. This organ occurs very early in evolution. Nephridia appear in simple worms and have this function.


Why is the urinary system important?

Without your urinary system you wouldn't be able to get your body's poison out. If you didn't get the poison out you would die. The kidney's have nephrons that take the poison out of your blood called urea. The urea then travels down the ureters to the bladder. The nerves in the bladder then send signals to your brain saying that you need to use the toilet. The sphincters then relax and the urine goes out of your body through the uretha.

How does the urinary system affects other systems?

The urinary system is part of your bodies mechanisms for disposing of unwanted products of metabolism. These substances are formed when you 'burn energy' and are of no further use to the body. The kidneys work to remove these unwanted byproducts.Nephridia, primitive kidney equivalents appear very early in evolution - even before the blood supply.The waste product is kept dissolved in liquid (water) and in mammals is stored in a bladder. This in turn is connected to the outside world by a ureter, whose activation is under voluntary muscular control.Your bowel is another organ that has a part to play in the conservation of water in the body. It extracts as much water as it can from the solid waste product. Occasionally, an infection interferes with this function, and this unfortunate condition we know as diarrhoea.
