The Urinary System

BY: Shelby Moser Health Class

The Way It Works

• It starts in your kidneys, then it goes down your ueter, then from there it goes into your bladder, and you pee it out your urethra.

What it is

• The organs, tubes, muscles, and nerves that work together to create, store, and carry urine make up the urinary system.

The Urinary Track

• Kidneys- Organs that produce waste from the body and make urine (pee).

• Ureters- Tubes that take pee from the kidneys too the bladder.

• Bladder- A sack that holds your pee until you have too tinkle.

• Urethra- Tubes that carry urine out of the body (A.K.A.- Where you pee out of.)

Doctor, Doctor

• When you're asked to give a urine sample during a doctor's visit, the results reveal how well your two kidneys are working. For example, white blood cells in the urine can be a sign of an infection.

Pretty Colors

• When your pee is a light color, that’s good. That means you have a good amount of water in your system.

• When your pee is a dark color, that means you may not have enough water.

• You no this, because water is what lightens the color of your pee.

For the Boys

• The reason it hurts when you get hit in your “area”, is because there are TONS of nerve endings in your testes, so when you get hit, it shots the pain up into your stomach.

It Feels Like Peeing Needles

• A Bladder Infection is caused by abnormal growth of bacteria in the bladder. One-Third of all females have one in their lives. There are 100’s of symptoms such as blood in urine, excruciating pain wile urinating, swelling, itching, and immediate need too pee.

I Have Rocks in Me!

• A kidney stone is a solid mass made up of tiny crystals. One or more stones can be in the kidney or ureter at the same time.

Getting the Stones Out

• You have too pee the stones out, because there in your kidneys with you’re pee. Imagine a one inch rock coming out of your bladder, sounds pretty painful huh?

Stoned…

• If you have pain in your low back, groin, and abdomen on a regular basis, you may be stoned. For doctors too run test’s on people with stones, the people actually have too pee into a strainer too catch the kidney stones.

Your Pee is Important!

• You may not think that your Urinary System is important, but the fact is, is that it controls your water, sodium and potassium content. This helps regulate your Blood Pressure.
