The document discusses the anatomy and physiology of the urinary system. It describes the structure and function of the kidneys, which contain nephrons that filter the blood to produce urine and regulate important substances. The filtrate leaves the nephron through a tubule and collecting duct, where chemical signals cause reabsorption of water and salt. It also describes the bladder as a muscular storage organ that holds urine and empties through the urethra, which children learn to control over several years.

compose each bean-shaped kidney (left). The filtration unit of the nephron, called the glomerulus, regulates the concentration within the body of important substances such as potassium, calcium, and hydrogen, and removes substances not produced by the body such as drugs and food additives. The filtrate, urine, leaves the nephron through a long tubule and collecting duct. Chemical signals triggered by the bodys need for water and salt cause the walls of the tubule to become more or less permeable to these substances, which are reabsorbed accordingly from the urine.
ANATOMI
BLADDER
The bladder is a muscular storage organ
for urine produced by the kidneys. The average adult bladder can hold about half a litre (1 pt) of liquid. Urine exits the bladder through a tube called the urethra. Emptying the bladder is a reflex reaction, one that takes children several years to learn to control.
