Urinary System

Function: 
To get rid of waste. Liquid/soluble waste. It filters waste from blood and goes and stores the waste and water in the bladder and when it is time to go pee, it exits through the urethra.

Organs: 
Kidneys (aka filters), Ureters, Bladder (stores liquid waste), Urethra.

Interactions with Other Systems:
The urinary system works with the circulatory system because the kidneys grabs the waste and then it puts it with water to make pee to then send it down to the bladder for storing until it is time to go to the bathroom!

Analogy:
The urinary system is like a sewer because it has entry point for some water and waste to come down and contain chemicals which then it head towards exit points which would be the Urethra when waste goes out of the sewers.

Structure and Function:
Without your the bladder you would have no place to your your pee, which would mean you would have to go to the bathroom every 5 seconds because you have no place to store it for a while. Your bladder is where the pee gets stored when it is sent through the ureters. It is for storing it until it reaches maximum capacity, then you need to go to the bathroom.
