Overview of Urinary System Organs and Functions
The urinary system comprises kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra located in the abdominal and pelvic cavities. The kidneys filter excess fluid, salts, and waste products to produce urine. They are protected by a renal fibrous capsule in the retroperitoneum, with adrenal glands near them.

1. 1 1.What are the main organs of the urinary system and where are they located? 2
The main organs of the urinary system are the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra, and they are located in the abdominal and pelvic cavities. , , , .
2. What is the function of the kidneys in the urinary system?
The main function of the kidneys is to filter excess fluid, salts, and waste products from the bloodstream and produce urine. , , .
How are the kidneys protected and what other structures are located near them? ;
The kidneys are protected by a thin connective tissue capsule called the renal fibrous capsule, and they are located in the retroperitoneum with the adrenal glands situated at the superior pole of each kidney. , .
The ureters are a continuation of the renal pelvis and transport the urine from the kidneys to the bladder. .
How does the location of the right kidney differ from the left kidney? ;
The right kidney is located slightly lower than the left kidney, sitting posterior-inferior to the liver. , - .
What happens to the urine produced by the kidneys? ;
The urine produced by the kidneys is transported through the ureters to the bladder, where it is stored and eventually excreted through the urethra. , .
abdominal cavity, bean-shaped organs, kidneys, urine, renal arteries and veins, urine from the kidneys, slightly lower than the left, liver, adrenal glands, urinary system, waste and fluid balance, protective capsule The urinary system consists of several organs located in the _______________(1), including the _______________(2), ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra. The kidneys are _______________(3) that filter excess fluid, waste, and byproducts from the blood to produce _______________(4). Each kidney has a _______________(5) and is connected to the _______________(6) at the renal hilum. The ureters transport _______________(7) to the bladder. The right kidney is positioned _______________(8) due to its proximity to the _______________(9). Additionally, the _______________(10), which are part of the endocrine system, sit on top of each kidney but are not part of the _______________(11). Understanding the urinary system is essential for grasping how the body manages _______________(12).
Column B A. A continuation of the renal pelvis, responsible for transporting urine from the kidneys. B. Located inferior to the bladder, responsible for excreting urine out of the body. C. Two bean-shaped organs located in the retroperitoneum, involved in filtering blood and producing urine. D. The area at the medial border of the kidney where renal arteries, veins, and the renal pelvis enter and leave. E. A thin connective tissue layer that protects the kidneys from damage or injury. F. Sits slightly lower than its counterpart due to the position of the liver. G. A structure located in the pelvic region that stores urine. H. Endocrine glands located at the superior pole of each kidney, surrounded by fibrous capsules.

The ______________ are bean-shaped organs located in the retroperitoneum, responsible for filtering blood and producing urine. The ______________ transport urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder. At the medial border of the kidney is the ______________, where the renal arteries, veins, and renal pelvis enter or exit. The ______________ stores urine and is located in the lower pelvic region. The ______________ is a thin layer of connective tissue that protects the kidneys from damage. The ______________ are endocrine glands located at the superior pole of each kidney, surrounded by a fibrous capsule. The ______________ is the structure through which urine is excreted from the body. The organs of the urinary system are located in the ______________, along with other vital structures.
Answer Key Answer Key Kidneys Ureters Renal hilum Urinary bladder Renal fibrous capsule Adrenal glands Urethra Abdominal cavity
TRUE/FALSE 1. The organs of the urinary system are located in the pelvic cavity. 2. The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs found in the retroperitoneum. 3. The ureters are responsible for storing urine. 4. The adrenal glands are part of the urinary system. 5. The renal fibrous capsule protects the kidneys from damage or injury. 6. The right kidney sits slightly lower than the left kidney due to the position of the liver. 7. The ureters are a continuation of the renal pelvis and transport urine to the urinary bladder. 8. The main function of the kidneys is to produce urine by filtering excess fluid, salts, and metabolic waste products from the bloodstream.
Answer Key 1.False (The organs of the urinary system are located in the abdominal cavity, not the pelvic cavity.) 2.True (The kidneys are bean-shaped organs in the retroperitoneum.) 3.False (The ureters transport urine; the urinary bladder stores it.) 4.False (The adrenal glands are part of the endocrine system, not the urinary system.) 5.True (The renal fibrous capsule protects the kidneys from damage or injury.) 6.True (The right kidney is lower due to the liver's position.) 7.True (The ureters are a continuation of the renal pelvis and transport urine to the bladder.) 8.True (The kidneys filter excess fluid, salts, and waste to produce urine.)
