    The urinary system consists of the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra, and works to produce and excrete urine. The kidneys, located retroperitoneally along the back, contain nephrons which filter waste from the blood to form urine. The kidneys regulate blood volume and pressure, fluid balance, and help maintain acid-base balance and remove toxins from the body. Urine exits the kidneys through the ureters and collects in the urinary bladder before exiting the body through the urethra.
