Detailed explanation-1: -The urinary system’s function is to filter blood and create urine as a waste by-product. The organs of the urinary system include the kidneys, renal pelvis, ureters, bladder and urethra. The body takes nutrients from food and converts them to energy.
Detailed explanation-2: -Your kidneys filter your blood, separating toxins from nutrients. Vitamins, minerals, nutrients and proteins return to your bloodstream. Waste products and urine move through your ureters to your bladder. Your bladder stores urine until you use the toilet.
Detailed explanation-3: -The kidney excretes toxins through essentially 3 mechanisms: (1) filtration through the glomeruli; (2) passive diffusion, typically from the distal tubules; and (3) active processes where the toxins are transported from the blood as well as into the urine.
