Urinary system. Most waste products are removed from the body by the urinary system...
Anatomy of the urinary system How does the urinary system work? The body takes nutrients from food and converts them to energy. After the body has taken the food that it needs, waste products are left behind in the bowel and in the blood. The urinary system keeps the chemicals and water in balance by removing a type of waste, called urea, from the blood. Urea is produced when foods containing protein, such as meat, poultry, and certain vegetables, are broken down in the body. Urea is carried in the bloodstream to the kidneys. Urinary system parts and their functions: Two kidneys - a pair of purplish-brown organs located below the ribs toward the middle of the back. Their function is to: Remove liquid waste from the blood in the form of urine. Keep a stable balance of salts and other substances in the blood. Produce erythropoietin, a hormone that aids the formation of red blood cells.
