There are many systems in the human body, but the most exciting one of all is the excretory system because it creates urine. The Excretory system is the system of urine. It creates pee to eliminate waste products. We need this system because we need to release waste products from our blood and also to make the blood healthier. The urine is made in the kidneys by the nephrones (tiny factories that ma ke urine). The urine is made out of unneeded substances and nutrients. Then after the urine is made in comes out of the kidneys then travels to the ureters (tubes that connect the kidneys to the bladder), then down to the bladder (muscle like “balloon”). Where it is stored when the time is right. Finally the urine leaves the body through the urethra. Click [|here] to see a video of the kidneys.

The main organ in the excretory system is the kidney. Kidneys are the cleaners of your blood. They are located behind your rib cage. Kidneys accept all blood with waste products from the cells. After they accept the bloodthe extract the waste products. Kidneys keep homeostasis stable by regulating the amount of water in the human body. The kidneys also create urine. The waste products of the blood go in nephrons (tiny factories that create urine) and create urine.

Many systems interact with the excretory system. The excretory system works with many systems. The excretory system interacts with the [|respiratory] system because the lungs keep homeostasis stable. It also works with the circulatory system because 1 fourth of quart of the [|circulatory] systems blood goes in the kidneys and gets filtered. Another system the excretory system works with is the [|muscular] system because the [|bladder] is made out of smooth muscle. It also works with the [|nervous] system because there is nerve endings in your bladder that stretches to allow the urine to flow. It also interacts with the [|skeletal] system because the bones of the rib cage protect your kidneys. It also interacts with the [|Endocrine] system because on top of your kidneys are Adrenal glands. They keep homeostasis stable by regulating the amount of salt and water in your kidneys.

Keeping this system clean is crucial, well if you want to go to the bathroom. Urine is analyzed to make sure your healthy free of diabetes. If glucose is in urine that may detect that you have diabetes. Also always drink enough fluids to stay hydrated. For girls when you release your digestive waste wipe from front to back because the urethra of girls is much longer and easier for bacteria from the poop to enter and cause a [|UTI] (Urinary Tract Infection). The last one is always go to the bathroom. Never hold urine in because it can damage your kidneys. When your kidneys don't work you take a special treatment that filters the blood in a machine called dialysis.
