The urinary system consists of two kidneys, two ureters, one urinary bladder, and one urethra. The kidneys filter wastes from the blood and regulate fluid and electrolyte balance. Each kidney contains over a million nephrons, the functional units that filter blood in the glomerulus and reabsorb useful substances along the renal tubules. The kidneys secrete urine that travels through ureters to the bladder, where it is temporarily stored then expelled through the urethra. The urinary system plays critical roles in homeostasis by filtering wastes and regulating water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance.

The document summarizes the urinary and reproductive systems. It describes the key functions of the urinary system as excretion of wastes and regulation of water, salt, and acid-base balance. It then details the structures of the human kidney including nephrons, collecting ducts and the bladder. It also describes the female reproductive system including ovaries, oviducts, uterus, and hormonal regulation, and the male reproductive system including testes, accessory glands, and spermatogenesis. Comparative anatomy of excretory and reproductive organs across species is also discussed.
