The urinary system is very vital in preventing buildup of waste in the body. It’s main function is to clean the blood and maintain healthy levels of acids and minerals in the blood. Each organ in the urinary system is responsible for completing their own job while working together to keep the body healthy. The kidneys “prevent the buildup of wastes and extra fluid in the body‚ keep levels of electrolytes stable‚ such as sodium‚ potassium‚ and phosphate‚ make hormones that help regulate

LEVELS OF ORGANIZATION OF NERVOURS SYSTEM: NEURONS: * STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION: Specialized cell transmitting nerve impulses; a nerve cell. Neurons have specialized projections called dendrites and axons. Dendrites bring information to the cell body and axons take information away from the cell body. Neurons communicate with each other through an electrochemical process. Information is transmitted to the receiving cell at junctions via chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. At this juncture

Abstract The human body needs to maintain proper homeostasis to survive. There are several different organ systems in the human body. Two of those systems are the digestive system and the urinary system. Both systems remove waste from the body but in an entirely different way. They also maintain homeostasis within our blood stream. Both systems are critical for survival. This paper will describe how each of those systems works on its own and also how they work together to maintain homeostasis

of Urinary System The urinary system consists of the kidneys‚ ureters‚ urinary bladder‚ and urethra. The kidneys filter the blood to remove wastes and produce urine. The ureters‚ urinary bladder‚ and urethra together form the urinary tract‚ which acts as a plumbing system to drain urine from the kidneys‚ store it‚ and then release it during urination. Besides filtering and eliminating wastes from the body‚ the urinary system also maintains the homeostasis of water‚ ions‚ pH‚ blood pressure‚ calcium

Organ Systems of the Human Body The human body is made up of 11 organ systems. The Integumentary System‚ Skeletal System‚ Muscular System‚ Nervous System‚ Endocrine System‚ Circulatory System‚ Lymphatic System‚ Respiratory System‚ Urinary System‚ Digestive System‚ and Reproductive System for the male and female. Also‚ we have the Immune System which is an accumulation of cells rather than an organ system. Protection‚ support and movement are the main functions of the Integumentary system‚ Skeletal

THE PATH OF FOOD THROUGH THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM The process of digestion can be fast‚ or can take some time depending on what a person has eaten. The time frame can also be affected by the person’s activity level. Food which is taken through the mouth is initially broken down by mechanical means. The teeth are responsible for grinding food‚ while the tongue assists the mixing of the food with saliva‚ which is secreted by the salivary glands‚ thereby initiating the chemical

25 The Urinary System: Urinary System Organs * Kidneys are major excretory organs * Urinary bladder is the temporary storage reservoir for urine * Ureters transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder * Urethra transports urine out of the body Kidney Functions * Removal of toxins‚ metabolic wastes‚ and excess ions from the blood * Regulation of blood volume‚ chemical composition‚ and pH Kidney Functions * Gluconeogenesis during prolonged fasting * Endocrine functions * Renin: regulation

* Trivia: Other terms used to refer to the "Urinary System" include the "Renal System" and the "Genito-urinary System" * Important Functions of Urinary System *Besides removing waste from bloodstream‚ the urinary system preforms several other functions as well. They are as follows: * Storage of Urine: Urine is producing all the time‚ but it would be inconvenient if we were constantly excreting urine. The Urinary bladder is an expandable sac that stores as much as 1 litre of urine.
