URINARY SYSTEM

1. The anatomical structure of the urinary system

2.physiologic functions of the urinary

3.how circulatory system helps urinary in maintaining homeostasis

4. How lymphatics helps urinary in maintaining homeostasis

5 how respiratory helps urinary in maintaining homeostasis

6. How digestive helps urinary in maintaining homeostasis

7.How reproductive helps urinary in maintaining homeostasis

Please, I want a short solution, for example, CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM- is an organ system composing of the heart and blood vessels as its major organs in which its major function is transportation, using blood as the transport vehicle that carries nutrients, cell wastes, hormones and many other substances vital for body homeostasis. As cardiovascular do these functions the lymphatic system helps in picking up leaked fluid and plasma proteins and returns them to the circulation on which its immune system cells protect cardiovascular organs from invading pathogens, while the Respiratory system carries out the gas exchange: loads oxygen and unloads carbon dioxide. Respiratory pumps also aid venous return that helps cardiovascular to maintain the normal volume of circulating blood while the urinary system helps regulate blood volume and pressure. In addition, the digestive system provides nutrients to the blood including iron and vitamin B for RBC and hemoglobin formation on which waste products are being carried away by the urinary system. Moreover, as the cardiovascular system transport hormone, estrogen maintains vascular health in women which is one of the important hormones produced by the reproductive system.
