.
ETER
pel urine from the kidneys to
urinary bladder.
ETHRA
rries urine from the urinary bladder
of the body.
urethra
IN
rete sweat to maintain a constant
y temperature.
INTERACTION WITH
THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
od is circulated through kidneys and toxins are filtered out. From theneys, toxins are sent to the urinary bladder to be expelled from the body.

DISEASES O

IDNEY FAILURE
ondition in which the kidneys lose
ability to remove waste and
lance fluids. There are five different
es of kidney
lure, including Chronic Intrinsic
ney Failure.
BLADDER CANCER
Cancer that begins in thebladder. Bladder cancer begins mosoften in the cells that line the inside othe bladder. Bladder cancer typicaaffects older adults, though it canoccur at any age.

sent in what the body consumes
ater), the kidneys have to put in tra effort to filter it out.
