    The urinary system consists of the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra and its main function is to produce, store, and expel urine. The kidneys remove waste from the blood through tiny filtering units called nephrons and regulate fluid balance and blood pressure by producing hormones. Urine is transported from the kidneys down the ureters to the urinary bladder for storage and then exits through the urethra.
