Renal System

Description: The kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra comprise the renal system, which regulates fluid volume, mineral composition, and acidity in the body. The renal system accomplishes this by reabsorbing water and inorganic electrolytes, and by regulating excretion. This course, RENAL ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY, is divided into two sections.
