System Overview
Function & Structure
The urinary system filters waste products, regulates fluid balance, and maintains electrolyte homeostasis through coordinated organ function:
Kidneys

- Glomerular filtration: Removes waste while retaining essential nutrients
- Tubular reabsorption: Recovers water, electrolytes, and glucose
Urinary Tract
- Ureters: Transport urine from kidneys to bladder
- Bladder: Stores urine and controls release timing
- Urethra: Final pathway for urine elimination
Regulatory Functions
- Fluid balance: Maintains optimal hydration status
- Electrolyte regulation: Controls sodium, potassium, and pH levels
- Blood pressure: Regulates through renin-angiotensin system
