ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Which of the following is an example of the urinary system’s ability to maintain homeostasis? A person drinks a large amount of water and the urinary output increases.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the urinary system, the peristaltic motion is caused by a muscular contraction of the ureteral wall initiated by pacemakers. This drives urine from the kidney to the bladder through the ureter.

Detailed explanation-3: -The glomerulus filters your blood As blood flows into each nephron, it enters a cluster of tiny blood vessels-the glomerulus. The thin walls of the glomerulus allow smaller molecules, wastes, and fluid-mostly water-to pass into the tubule. Larger molecules, such as proteins and blood cells, stay in the blood vessel.

Detailed explanation-4: -Each glomerulus is surrounded by a “C"-shaped structure called the Bowman’s Capsule. It is here that materials such as urea, salts, water, glucose, & others pass from the blood into the nephron.
