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 blood pressure regulation is a key function of the urinary system. The kidneys play a crucial role in this process by adjusting the volume of blood (through urine production) and releasing the enzyme renin, which helps regulate blood pressure.

Recognize that the production of insulin is not a function of the urinary system. Insulin is produced by the pancreas, which is part of the endocrine system.

Acknowledge that oxygen transport in the blood is primarily a function of the respiratory and circulatory systems, involving the lungs and red blood cells, not the urinary system.

Understand that the digestion of proteins is a function of the digestive system, involving organs such as the stomach and small intestine, rather than the urinary system.
