Exploring the Anatomy of the Urinary System

This video provides an introduction to the urinary system, covering the anatomy and functions of the kidneys, including blood regulation and waste excretion. It explains the process of urine formation and transport through the ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra. The video also discusses urinalysis and indicators of urinary system health, such as the presence of proteins, glucose, and blood cells in urine.

Where are the kidneys located in the human body?

• In the chest cavity

• In the abdominal pelvic cavity
