Overview of the Urinary System
Our Internal Cleansing Mechanism
This video offers an overview of the urinary system, an essential component of our body’s internal cleansing mechanism responsible for filtering waste, excess substances, and toxins from the bloodstream and excreting them as urine. Highlighting the importance of maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance, it explains how the urinary system helps regulate blood pressure and contributes to homeostasis, ensuring a stable internal environment.
The video delineates the roles of the four main organs within this system: the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. It emphasizes the kidneys’ central role in filtering blood and producing urine, the ureters’ function in transporting urine from the kidneys to the bladder, the bladder’s role in storing urine until elimination, and the urethra’s function in expelling urine from the body.
