The urinary system has three major functions:
(1) excretion: the removal of organic waste from body fluids.
(2) elimination: the discharge of these waste into the outside.
(3) homeostatic regulation of the volume and solutes of blood plasma.
Your kidneys have the ability to conserve or waste water. The structure and transport properties of the loop of Henle in the nephron is where it happens.
Your kidneys receive 20–25 percent of your total cardiac output. Normally about 1200 ml of blood flows through the kidneys each minute.
