URINARY SYSTEM
Which are the main organs?
URETERS:The ureters are muscular tubes extending from the kidneys to the urinary bladder. Urine flows in these tubes from kidney to the urinary bladder.
URINARY BLADDER: Urinary Bladder collects urine before it is excreted from the body. Urinary bladder is a hollow muscular and elastic organ sitting on the pelvic floor.
KIDNEYS: Kidneys are the major organs of urinary system. Formation of urine takes place in kidneys. The kidneys are two bean shaped organs lying close to the lumbar spine, one on each side of the body.
URETHRA: Urethra is a tube that connects the urinary bladder to the external genitalia for elimination from the body.
What are the roles of the organs?
How does this system interact with other systems?
It all depends on how bad it is, but basically if your kidneys don't function properly your body will retain water and your blood, liver amongst other things can not get rid of toxins. If it is where a person does'nt urinate then dialysis will be needed immediately or the immune system will eventually breakdown and lead to other complications.
What would happen if this system stopped working?
The urinary system is related to nutrition because the things the body does not need the urinary system push them out of the body.

THE END!!!!!
The main organs of the urinary system are:
The digestive system and urinary system are connected by the digestion and waste removal processes. Digestion begins through the intake of food that travels through the organs of the digestive system, including the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. This digestive process is for nutrition absorption for the body’s needs. Everything that is broken down is sent to the kidneys through the blood. After the kidneys have filtered out liquid waste,the bladder completes the disposal through urine.
Many doctors and medical organizations refer to the digestive system and urinary system together. These two systems work in conjunction with each other. The digestive system breaks down food for the nutrients the body needs. Solid waste from food is removed by the digestive system, but liquid waste is handled by the urinary system. Each system has its own set of organs, but the systems are connected through the processes they perform.
Food enters through the mouth and travels down the esophagus to the stomach. Acids in the stomach break down the food, and it travels to the small intestine. In the small intestine, nutrients are absorbed. The remaining solid waste goes to the large intestine. Liquid waste is carried through the circulatory system and into part of the urinary system.
