But for now, you learned the anatomy of your urinary system, and how your kidneys filter metabolic waste and balance salt and water concentrations in the blood.
In the male urinary system the urethra goes through the prostate gland instead of around it, which leads to many physical problems in men later on in life.
Its other major duty is to regulate the balance of salt and water in your blood, and both of these tasks are processed in the whole system of tubes that is your urinary system.
In your body, a lot of the cleanup that comes after metabolism is handled by the liver, which plays a tremendous role in directing dead cells and leftover chemicals to the digestive and urinary systems.
One of the major functions of the urinary system is the process of excretion, which is the process of eliminating waste products of metabolism and other materials that are of no use.
