Urinary Tract System:
Urinary tract infections (UTI) occur when bacteria enter the urinary tract through the urethra and start to multiply themself in the bladder. Our urinary system is designed to keep out these microscopic invaders, but sometimes our bodies fail to get affected by these viruses.
The urinary tract system developed and stores urine which is the body’s liquid waste product. The following parts of the body make the urinary tract system mentioned below:
- Kidneys: These organs are present on the back side of your body and just above the hips. They are working as a filter of the body. Removing waste and water from the blood and keeping it clean. The liquid later becomes urine.
- Ureters: Ureters are the tubes it carries urine from the kidneys to the bladder.
- Bladder: A bladder stores the urine of the body before it leaves.
Urethra: It is also a tube that carries the urine from your bladder to the outside of the body.
