How the Urinary System Works

The urinary system is an important bodily system that helps the body get rid of waste called urea normally found in the blood. This waste is usually produced when the body breaks down foods that are rich in protein, such as: poultry, meat and certain types of vegetables. The urinary system also coordinates with other vital organs of the body, such as the intestines, lungs and skin, to maintain a chemical balance in the body.

The Kidneys

From the bloodstream, urea is carried to the kidneys. The kidneys are the bean-shaped organs of the body just about the size of the fist. Furthermore, they are located approximately two inches above the midline area of the body, under and behind the liver located in the upper abdomen, and behind the lower ribs.

These organs are responsible for filtering about one-quarter of blood, or about 750 to 1000 pints, sent from the heart daily. The kidneys are important in making sure that the blood is free of chemical wastes before circulating the rest of the body.
