Overview of the Urinary System
The main parts of the urinary system are the kidneys, ureters, urethra, and the urinary bladder. The kidneys clean the blood and the substances cleaned out get made into urine. Urine travels from the kidneys to the ureters to the urinary bladder (a sac made of muscle). The urinary bladder is like a holding cell for the urine until it is emptied out through the urethra. The bladder can hold one liter of urine and can stretch from small to large and vice versa.
