The urinary systems main function is to eliminate waste from the body. With that being said, cells of the body get their energy from burning sugars, fats and proteins. Oxygen is required for many of the reactions. Oxygen comes from the air, into the lungs, from the lungs, into the blood stream, and then into cells (which is how the respiratory system interacts with the urinary system). The cells use this in chemical reactions. When proteins burn they produce cabon dioxide, urea (component of urine), and other chemicals. The urea and some of the other chemicals created are eliminated into the kidneys, which are then eliminated from the body by urine. Other chemicals are sent to the liver for reprocessing, or to go through the small and large intestine to be either digested or eliminated by feces.
