Our bodies take nutrients from food and use them to maintain all bodily functions. After the body uses what it needs from the food and drink, waste products from digestion and cellular metabolism need to be eliminated. The urinary system works with the respiratory system, integumentary system, and digestive system to excrete wastes and keep electrolytes and water in the body balanced.
