The system consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra, which is the only structure not visible in the sculpture above. The main function of the urinary system is to eliminate the waste products of metabolism from the body by forming and excreting urine. Between 1 and 2 liters of urine are normally produced every day in a healthy individual.

The urinary system includes the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra; the bladder and urethra are the most common sites of infection. Common sites of infection in the male reproductive system include the urethra, as well as the testes, prostateand epididymis. The commons sites of infection in females are the vulva, vagina, cervix, and fallopian tubes.

Students explore blood glucose regulation, kidney functions, and gas exchange in lungs through simulations and urinalysis. The text details kidney filtration processes, urine production, and assessments of kidney health via urinalysis, including case studies. Additionally, it addresses lung anatomy and respiration, incorporating BMI for body composition analysis.
