How do the circulatory and urinary systems work together?
A
Cleans waste from the blood, maintains salt levels in the body, regulates blood volume by eliminating excess water.
B
CO2 is removed from the blood and O2 is added to the blood though capillary walls surrounding the alveoli in the lungs.

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Blood flows into your kidney through the renal artery. This large blood vessel branches into smaller and smaller blood vessels until the blood reaches the nephrons. In the nephron, your blood is filtered by the tiny blood vessels of the glomeruli and then flows out of your kidney through the renal vein.

Detailed explanation-2: -The heart pumps blood filled with oxygen through all parts of your body, including the kidneys. The kidneys clean the blood, removing waste products and extra water. Without the kidneys, your blood would have too much waste and water.

Detailed explanation-3: -When this blood reaches the kidneys, a filtration process removes waste products and excess water. Every minute, the kidneys filter out about a half cup of blood to create urine, which is excreted via the ureters, bladder, and urethra.

Detailed explanation-4: -Your kidneys act like a filter to remove wastes and extra fluid from your body. Your kidneys filter about 200 quarts of blood each day to make about 1 to 2 quarts of urine. The urine contains wastes and extra fluid. This prevents buildup of wastes and fluid to keep your body healthy.

Detailed explanation-5: -Renal Veins carry filtered blood from the kidneys to the posterior vena cava. Renal Arteries carry unfiltered blood from the aorta to the kidneys.
