Verified step by step guidance

Identify the primary functions of the urinary system, which include the removal of waste products from the blood, regulation of blood volume and pressure, control of levels of electrolytes and metabolites, and regulation of blood pH.

Understand that the urinary system consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra, and its main role is to filter blood and create urine as a waste by-product.

Recognize that the regulation of blood pressure is achieved by the kidneys through the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, which adjusts the volume of blood (by controlling the amount of water excreted) and the constriction of blood vessels.

Eliminate the other options by understanding their associated systems: Digestion of proteins is a function of the digestive system, exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide is a function of the respiratory system, and production of insulin is a function of the endocrine system, specifically the pancreas.

Conclude that the function related to the urinary system from the given options is the regulation of blood pressure.
