2.69 Urinary system




2.69 Understand the structure of the urinary system, including the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra.

Most people have two Kidneys – Each with its own separate blood supply, carrying out the process of excretion, filtration and osmoregulation.

From each kidney there is a tube which leads to the bladder. This is called the ureter.

The ureter carries urine from the kidney to the bladder. And then the urine travels through the urethra to exit the body. The urethra is present in both the vagina and the penis so it depends on your sex.
