Urinary System
The kidneys and bladder that filter blood and balance fluid, salts and pH.
The kidneys filter your entire blood volume dozens of times a day, reclaiming what the body needs and excreting the rest as urine. Beyond waste removal, they finely regulate blood pressure, red blood cell production and the body's acid-base balance.
