Document Summary
The kidney is crucial for maintaining blood volume and blood pressure in the long term. Three functions of the urinary system: excretion. Removal of organic wastes from body fluids. The most toxic of wastes (that our body produces) are the nitrogenous wastes. Produced in the liver 2nh3 + co2. Uric acid: by product of nucleic acid breakdown. Molecule that provides muscles with energy in the first 2-7 seconds of work. Creatine phosphate is a source of high energy phosphate present in skeletal muscle and brain. Can donate phosphate to form atp in first 2-7 seconds following intense exercise: elimination. Urinary tract organ that eliminates urine. Micturition (urination) process/ reflex of eliminating urine. Contraction of urinary bladder (smooth muscle) forces urine through urethra and out of body.
