balance and by removing harmful substances from the blood. The blood is filtered by two kidneys‚ which produce urine‚ a fluid containing toxic substances and waste products. From each kidney‚ the urine flows through a tube‚ the ureter‚ to the urinary bladder‚ where it is stored until it is expelled from the body through another tube‚ the urethra.
