The Renal System
The renal system has many functions and uses various body parts. It is also known as the urinary system.
Functions of the renal system
- The functions of the renal system are to:
- Create urine
- Filter blood
- Control blood pH
The parts of the renal system
- The renal system is made up of the kidney, ureter, bladder, and the urethra.
The different roles of the parts of the renal system
- Kidneys filter your blood, controlling your glucose and water levels can be controlled. Urine is created in the kidneys.
- The ureter is the tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder.
- The bladder stores your urine.
- The urethra is the tube that carries the urine from the bladder to outside the body when you go to the toilet.
