The Urinary System

The kidneys play a vital role in maintaining the body’s homeostasis by filtering approximately 200 liters of blood each day. They facilitate the excretion of toxins, metabolic wastes, and excess ions through urine. Additionally, kidneys regulate the volume and chemical composition of blood, ensuring a proper balance of water, salts, acids, and bases. This intricate system is essential for overall health and well-being, highlighting the significance of kidney function in the body’s excretory processes.
