Urinary System

" Thousands of metabolic processes in myriad body cells produce hundreds of waste products. The Urinary system removes them by filtering and cleansing the blood as it passes through the kidneys. Another vital function is the regulation of the volume, acidity, salinity, concentration, and chemical composition of blood, lymph, and other body fluids. Under hormonal control, the kidneys monitor what they release into the urine to maintain a healthy chemical balance. "
