Urinary System

The urinary system is a vital part of the body comprising the kidneys, urinary bladder, ureters, and urethra. The kidneys perform crucial functions, including filtering toxins, metabolic waste, and excess ions from the bloodstream and regulating blood volume and chemical makeup. They maintain the balance of water, salts, acids, and bases. Additional functions include gluconeogenesis during prolonged fasting, hormone production (renin and erythropoietin), and the metabolism of vitamin D into its active form.
