3 functions of the urinary system
• Excrete nitrogenous wastes– Urea produced from the metabolism of proteins
and nucleic acids• Other animals produce ammonia or uric acid
• Regulate water balance• Regulate salt balance

Filters the bloodProduces urine (contains urea)Regulates water and salt balance

Transports urine from the kidney to the urinary bladder

Stores the urine. Has specialized expandable cells

Carries the urine to the outside of the body

Everything in the blood smaller than blood cells or large proteins is filtered into the nephron at the glomerulus/bowman’s capsule Vital materials
-sugars-amino acids-water-NaClAre reabsorbed into the blood, so they do not leave the body
Salts are secreted into urine if their concentration in the blood is too high
Urine is excreted from the body
