Urinary system

2.69 Describe the structure of the urinary system, including the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra.

The urinary system has two kidneys (right and left)
each has it's own separate blood supply.

They carry out the process of excretion, filtration and osmoregulation.

Each kidney has a ureter which leads to the bladder (carries urine).

There is a common bladder or simply 1 bladder for both ureters

Then then urine is conducted to the outside of the body to be excreted down the urethra which travels down through the vagina or penis.
