What is the Urinary System?

Do you know what the Urinary System is made of? Well we had to make pieces of writing about the Urinary System. We had to write 3 questions, these are mine: What is Urine made of? Why is Urine yellow? How much pee can the Bladder hold?(these are in paragraph order) So here is my Writing about Urinary Tract System.

The urinary tract system is made up of the bladder, kidneys, ureters and urethra. Urine is mostly water, however it is also made up of things you have eaten, drank, breathed or been exposed to. The colour of your urine, can tell you if everything is normal and healthy. The lighter shade of yellow the better hydrated you are. The amount of Urine your bladder can hold depends on what age and if you are a boy or a girl.

Have you ever wondered what is in your Urine. Your Urine is made up of many different things but 95% of your Urine is water. So the other 5% is made of mainly: Water, Salt, Chemicals, Old Water (from the body), Dead Blood Cells, Urochrome and Pigment. Sometimes when you have eaten or drank too much of something or having a type of food or drink can depend on the color of your pee. Pee is also made up of Urochrome(a type of pigment). Pee can be affected from Coffee and Alcohol.

Have you ever wondered why your pee is yellow, wonder no more.  The color of your pee can also be related to what is in your pee. So if your pee is light yellow it is a good, healthy and hydrated sign yet if it dark to a brownish sort of yellow then that is a bad sign and either means that you are dehydrated or you have had too much medications. If your pee is red that means that you have had too much rhubarb, but if your pee is blue then that means you have had dyes in your food or too much medications. Some foods and illnesses can also affect how your pee turns out. The color of your pee also depends on how much Urochrome is in your pee, also dead blood cells and old water.

Do you know what your bladder is and how much Urine it can hold. Your bladder is basicly the inflatable, hollow, flexible bag that holds pee(inside your body ofcourse). You bladder can hold for every 2-5h can hold minimum  ½ liter but the maximum is 2 liters or 800-2000 mills. So for every 30mins your bladder should be able to hold 2 cups (300-400 mills) for every hour your bladder can hold 4 cups(600-800 mills). So each and every day a healthy bladder should go to the toilet 5-6 times a day.

Conclusion/Summary.

In this paragraph i will be telling you some facts i have not told you through out. Did you know that sometimes when you don’t go toilet your bladder can burst, and that with all the waste in your body before it gets made into Urine the body makes it into energy. Did you know that the Kidneys make you red blood cells, and your kidneys keep your bones strong.
