1 Urinary System Anatomy

2 Aorta Largest blood vessel; carries blood from heart to all parts of the body

3 Inferior Vena Cava Carries blood back to the heart from the lower body

4 Renal Artery Branches off the aorta; carries blood to the kidneys

5 Renal Vein Carries cleansed blood from the kidneys back to the Inf. Vena Cava

6 Kidney Main organs of the excretory system; filter toxins from the blood, regulate water volume in blood, and blood pressure

7 Ureter (2) Contains urine form the collecting tubules; carries urine to bladder

8 Urinary Bladder Muscular pouch that stores urine until it is ready to be eliminated from body

9 Urethra Tube that connects the bladder to outside of the body
