3. The Urinary System
The Urinary system is also referred to as the EXCRETORY system.
This is because the urinary system excretes metabolic wastes and excess water.

4. The Urinary System The urinary system functions:
Removal of metabolic waste
Removal of excess water
Homeostasis – keeping water, salt, and pH balance

5. The Urinary System
The urinary system includes the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra.
KIDNEYS are made of tiny filtering units called nephrons. These nephrons filter your blood to remove waste products and excess water.
URETERS are tubes that connect the kidneys to the urinary bladder.
URINARY BLADDER stores liquid waste.
URETHRA is the tube that expels waste.

6. The Urinary System
The male urethra is longer than the female urethra.

8. The Urinary System
Create a model of the urinary system using either the clay/chalk markers OR the art materials OR chalk markers OR poster
Be sure to label each part of the model.
Create a text box of information for each part of the model, as well as the system as a whole.
Take a picture and send it to Ms. Reed
