Study Notes
Urinary System Overview
- The urinary system is the primary excretory system responsible for eliminating waste from the body.
- While other organs may contribute to waste elimination, they cannot compensate for kidney failure.
Kidney Functionality
- Two kidneys are present in the urinary system.
- Kidneys are essential for maintaining homeostasis, including excretion and regulation of various bodily functions.
Functions of the Urinary System
- Excretion of waste products from metabolism.
- Regulation of blood volume and pressure, ensuring proper circulation.
- Regulation of blood solute concentration, maintaining electrolyte balance.
- Regulation of extracellular fluid pH, which is crucial for metabolic processes.
- Regulation of red blood cell synthesis through erythropoietin production in response to oxygen levels.
- Regulation of Vitamin D, contributing to calcium homeostasis and bone health.
Urinary Storage
- The urinary bladder serves as the storage site for urine before excretion.
