Settings
The Urinary System is a group of organs charged with filtering out excess fluid and other substances from the bloodstream in the form of urine. The system also helps control the amount of salts in the body. The organs in the system each have their own functions that help in the main function. Take up the quiz below and get to see how well you understand the urinary system. All the best!
