The Urinary System by https://padlet.com/stenstrb/n4uju3ijv4on en-us 2017-06-02 01:21:38 UTC 2017-06-13 20:50:47 UTC hello@padlet.com What Is It? stenstrb https://padlet.com/stenstrb/n4uju3ijv4on/wish/174907378 The urinary system, which can also be referred to as the renal system, produces, stores, and eliminates the waste produced by the kidneys (urine). The urinary system filters waste, extra water, and toxins from the blood and excretes them. 
It helps keep chemicals, such as sodium and potassium, in correct concentrations in the body, and removes urea from the blood, which  when foods containing protein, such as meat, poultry, and certain vegetables, are broken down in the body

The kidneys remove waste from the blood in the form of urine, keep substances stable in the blood, make erythromycin,which is  a hormone that helps  make red  blood cells, make vitamin D active, and regulate blood pressure.

Each is around 10-12 inches. The muscles in the walls of the ureter contract and relax to constantly be pushing urine downwards. The ureters empty a small amount of urine into the bladder every 10-15 seconds. ]]> 2017-06-02 01:52:57 UTC https://padlet.com/stenstrb/n4uju3ijv4on/wish/174911277 Bladder stenstrb https://padlet.com/stenstrb/n4uju3ijv4on/wish/174911515 The bladder is a hollow, triangle shaped organ in the pelvic region. The bladder's walls relax and expand to hold urine,  and contract to force urine down into the urethra. Most healthy adult bladders can hold around two cups of urine for anywhere from 2 to 5 hours.

The brain signals the bladder to contract and push urine down the urethra, and the sphincter muscles to relax, which allows urine to exit the body. ]]> 2017-06-02 02:29:29 UTC https://padlet.com/stenstrb/n4uju3ijv4on/wish/174913757 Relationships Between the Systems stenstrb https://padlet.com/stenstrb/n4uju3ijv4on/wish/174913941 2017-06-02 02:31:33 UTC https://padlet.com/stenstrb/n4uju3ijv4on/wish/174913941 The Skeletal System stenstrb https://padlet.com/stenstrb/n4uju3ijv4on/wish/174914050 The urinary system cleans the blood of waste products produced by the skeletal system, while the skeletal system protects the kidneys. The spine and the ribs help to protect the kidneys, and the pelvis helps to protect the bladder, in order to keep the main organs of the urinary system from being damaged or harmed. The urinary system removes the toxins and waste from the blood that are produced by the skeletal system, and keeps the body clean. ]]> 2017-06-02 02:32:41 UTC https://padlet.com/stenstrb/n4uju3ijv4on/wish/174914050 The Respiratory System stenstrb https://padlet.com/stenstrb/n4uju3ijv4on/wish/174914112 The urinary system and the respiratory system interact, seeing as every cell and every reaction require oxygen, The respiratory system brings in oxygen, which is circulate throughout the body and allows the urinary system to function. In turn, when proteins and other reactions produce carbon dioxide, and urea, they are expelled from the body. ]]> 2017-06-02 02:33:28 UTC https://padlet.com/stenstrb/n4uju3ijv4on/wish/174914112 stenstrb https://padlet.com/stenstrb/n4uju3ijv4on/wish/174914355 2017-06-02 02:36:42 UTC https://padlet.com/stenstrb/n4uju3ijv4on/wish/174914355 Diseases of the Renal System stenstrb https://padlet.com/stenstrb/n4uju3ijv4on/wish/174917776 2017-06-02 03:27:39 UTC https://padlet.com/stenstrb/n4uju3ijv4on/wish/174917776 Urinary Tract Infections stenstrb https://padlet.com/stenstrb/n4uju3ijv4on/wish/174917822 UTI’s occur when bacteria enters the urinary tract, and causes an infection. They are more common in females than males, but can also occur in males. They are not often deadly, and can generally be fixed with a dose of antibiotics. ]]> 2017-06-02 03:28:20 UTC https://padlet.com/stenstrb/n4uju3ijv4on/wish/174917822 Nephrolith stenstrb https://padlet.com/stenstrb/n4uju3ijv4on/wish/174918444 A kidney stone, which occurs when deposits hard deposits made of minerals and salts that form inside your kidneys form. Stones often form when urine becomes concentrated, allowing minerals to crystallize and stick together. While passing kidney stones can be painful, they often are not harmful. They generally just require pain medication and patience, But, if they become lodged or are too large to be passed on their own, they can require surgery to be removed from the body.
