[edit on Wikidata] The urinary system, also known as the renal system or urinary tract, consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and the urethra.

The urinary tract is the body’s drainage system for the eventual removal of urine. The kidneys have an extensive blood supply via the renal arteries which leave the kidneys via the renal vein.

How the human body’s urinary system works. The urinary system – also known as the renal system – produces, stores and elimiates urine, the fluid waste excreted by the kidneys. The system works with the lungs, skin and intestines to maintain the balance of chemicals and water in the body. The kidneys are the primary organs of the urinary system.

Urinary System Function. The main urinary system function is to filter the blood of excess water, salts, and waste products, temporarily store these within a reservoir, and intermittently expel these products from the body. Each kidney contains approximately one million nephrons.

The urinary system includes the kidneys, the ureters which join the kidneys to the bladder, the bladder itself and the urethras which permit urine collecting in the bladder to be excreted – a process termed micturition.

Overview of the Urinary System. The urinary system maintains blood homeostasis by filtering out excess fluid and other substances from the bloodstream and secreting waste.
