Detailed explanation-1: -The body produces pee as a way to get rid of waste and extra water that it doesn’t need. Before leaving your body, urine travels through the urinary tract. The urinary tract is a pathway that includes the: kidneys: two bean-shaped organs that filter waste from the blood and produce urine.
Detailed explanation-2: -The kidney and urinary systems help the body to eliminate liquid waste called urea, and to keep chemicals, such as potassium and sodium, and water in balance.
Detailed explanation-3: -From the calyxes, pee travels out of the kidneys through the ureters (pronounced: YUR-uh-ters) to be stored in the bladder (a muscular sac in the lower belly). When a person urinates, the pee exits the bladder and goes out of the body through the urethra (pronounced: yoo-REE-thruh), another tube-like structure.
