INTRODUCTION
A general description of the digestive or
gastrointestinal (GI) system is that of a continuous
tube beginning with the mouth and ending at the
anus. Tube is known as the alimentary canal
and/or gastrointestinal tract.
INTRODUCTION
The urinary system excretes metabolic waste
While forming and eliminating urine, it also regulates the
composition, volume, and acid–base balance (pH) of body
fluids.
In several ways, kidney activity affects the circulation and blood
pressure. The urinary system is thus of critical importance in
maintaining homeostasis, the state of internal
balance. The urinary system consists of:

 Two kidneys (organs that form urine)

 Two ureters (transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder)
 Urinary bladder (stores and eliminates urine)
 Urethra (carries urine out of the body)
