virtsanjohtoa

Virtsanjohtoa refers to the urinary tract, the system in the body responsible for producing, storing, and eliminating urine. This vital system comprises several key components. The kidneys, located on either side of the spine, are the primary organs of the urinary tract. They filter waste products from the blood, producing urine. Urine then travels down from the kidneys through two muscular tubes called the ureters. These ureters connect the kidneys to the bladder, a hollow, muscular organ that serves as a reservoir for urine. When the bladder is full, the urge to urinate is triggered. The final part of the urinary tract is the urethra, a tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body. The female urethra is shorter than the male urethra. In males, the urethra also serves as a passageway for semen during ejaculation. The coordinated function of these organs ensures the efficient removal of metabolic waste and excess fluid from the body, maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance.
