Urinary system Flashcards

1
Q

Enumerate the components of the urinary system and their respective function

A

Kidneys- process a filtrate of the blood to form urine
Ureters - conduct urine from the kidney to bladder
Urinary bladder - temporary storage for urine
Urethra - passage thru which urine is voided

Q

What are the functions of the urinary system?

A

Excretory - waste products of metabolism is excreted thru production of urine
Maintenance of body homeostasis - kidneys maintain the acid base balance of the body and maintain the normal body fluid by eliminating excess waster
Endocrine - releases of hormones like erythropoietin and renin ( control blood pressure)
Reproductive - exclusive to male urethra as passageways for semen. ( in females, urethra is for urinary function only)
