Parts of the Urinary System

Apart from carbon dioxide, cells release other waste products
into the bloodstream that are the results from the chemical
reactions that take place inside the cells.
These substances are toxic and must be removed from the
body.

The organs of urinary system:

• Filter blood and remove waste products that build up in the
  urinary system
• Eliminate urine from the body

Human Nutrition Process

Human nutrition is a complex process carried out by the
organs of four different systems: digestive,respiratory,circulatory and
urinary.
These four systems work together to provide nutrients and oxygen to
each and every one of the cells in our body and remove the waste
the cells produce.

Circulatory and Digestive System Functions

The circulatory system
uses blood to distribute
nutrients and oxygen
to all the cells in the
body and pick up
the waste products
the cells generate,
including the carbon
dioxide from cellular
respiration.

The digestive
system processes
the foods and
extracts nutrients
in order to transfer
them to the
bloodstream.

Respiratory and Urinary System Functions

The respiratory
system gets oxygen
from the air and
takes it into the
bloodstream. It also
gets rid of the carbon
dioxide in the blood.

The urinary system
filters the blood
and extracts
waste products
other than carbon
dioxide from it.
When it does that,
it produces urine
to remove these
substances from
the body.

Balanced Diet Principles

1. Avoid too much sugar and fats
2. Eat High-Fiber foods: we need fiber
   to make it easier for food to pass
   through the digestive tract.
3. Eat varied foods : our diet must
   combine different kind of foods,
   especially fruits, vegetables, cereals,
   fish , meat and protein-rich foods
4. Frequency of meals throughout the
   day

Digestive System Habits

Digestive system
· Wash your hands before

. Brush your teeth after
