The human urinary system, also known as the urinary tract or renal system, consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and the urethra. The purpose of the urinary system is to eliminate waste from the body, regulate blood volume and blood pressure, control levels of electrolytes and metabolites , and regulate blood pH .
{{Urinary system anatomy | state = collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar. {{Urinary system anatomy | state = expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.

To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used: {{Development of the urinary system | state = collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar. {{Development of the urinary system | state = expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.
Diagram showing the basic physiologic mechanisms of the kidney. The kidney's ability to perform many of its functions depends on the three fundamental functions of filtration, reabsorption, and secretion, whose sum is called renal clearance or renal excretion. That is: Urinary excretion rate = Filtration rate – Reabsorption rate + Secretion ...
In humans, soluble wastes are excreted primarily by the urinary system and, to a lesser extent in terms of urea, removed by perspiration. [4] In placental mammals, the urinary system consists of the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra. The system produces urine by a process of filtration, reabsorption, and tubular secretion. The ...

Diagram shows the sequential development and degeneration of the pronephros and mesonephros, and the induction of the ureteric bud and metanephric mesenchyme during kidney development in mammals. The development of the kidney proceeds through a series of successive phases, each marked by the development of a more advanced kidney: the ...
