1. Read the text and decide if the following sentences are true (T) or false (F) (4 x 2 = 10
points)

The excretory system is an essential component of the human body responsible for removing waste and maintaining balance.
This system consists of several organs, each with its unique function. At the center of it all are the kidneys, bean-shaped
organs located near the lower back. The kidneys act as filters, removing waste products and excess substances from the blood
to produce urine. This urine then travels through tubes called ureters to the bladder, where it is stored until expelled from the
body through the urethra.

The kidneys play a crucial role in regulating fluid balance, electrolytes, and pH levels in the body. They also help in controlling
blood pressure through the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Additionally, the kidneys produce erythropoietin, a hormone
that stimulates red blood cell production in the bone marrow.

The bladder serves as a temporary reservoir for urine. Its muscular walls allow it to expand as it fills up and contract when
emptying. The urethra, a tube connecting the bladder to the outside of the body, facilitates the elimination of urine.

Overall, the excretory system helps in maintaining the body's internal environment by eliminating waste products and regulating
essential substances. Dysfunction of this system can lead to serious health issues, such as kidney disease, urinary tract
infections, and electrolyte imbalances. Therefore, it is vital to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including proper hydration, balanced
nutrition, and regular medical check-ups, to support the optimal function of the excretory system.

a) The kidneys are responsible for producing urine. (True / False)

b) The bladder contracts to store urine. (True / False)
