The cycle of the system!

The urinary system works with the circulatory system. The kidneys filter toxins from circulated blood, which is then moved to the heart and is pumped out through the entire body. After the blood is finished pumping through the body, it returns to the kidneys, which it is then filtered of any toxins. The toxins are moved from the kidneys through the ureters to the bladder, then it is expelled from the body through the urethra via urine. The kidneys do not produce blood, but they do help filter blood for the body to function properly.
