Functions of the Pancreas \n\nThe pancreas has a dual role - it helps digest food and also secretes hormones that, among other things, affect the level of sugar in the blood.\n\nIt manufactures enzymes to aid in digestion and produces the hormone insulin to regulate blood sugar levels in the bloodstream. The digestive juices secreted by the pancreas combine with juices from the intestines to complete the job of breaking down proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Substances in the pancreatic juice also help neutralize stomach acids that pass from the stomach into the small intestine.

The  urinary meatus  is the external urethral orifice.  In  the  male,  the  urethra  is  common  to  the urinary  and  reproductive  systems;  in  the  female,  it belongs only to the urinary system. Therefore the urinary meatus is the opening of the urethra on the body surface through which urine is discharged in females which is the same as the external urethral orifice

1.- cleanses your system, your kidneys, that's why\nyou urinate.\n\nYou take things in, through the nose by breathing, the mouth by eating, etcetera. Your body needs water and other fluids to process this through your kidneys and clean your body out.\n\n2.- moisturizes the tissues within your body, makes them function adequately. For example the immunological system. The cells and antibodies require to synapse, and this requires energy, one of which the carriers for is water.

This belongs in a Health topic, not "special education."\n\nAre you talking about medical equipment, or your own body's urinary tract?\n\nIf you want to improve your urinary health, drink 6 to 8 servings of water each day. Also, do drink cran-rasberry juices. It helps a lot.

As stated in the "omit" version of this question...\n\nKangaroo rats do urinate, as it is necessary in order to remove nitrates from the body. But they conserve water as a result of being adapted to desert climates, where water is scarce. Thus urine is excreted, but is very concentrated, containing only enough water so that it is able to drain out, thus keeping the body from dehydrating.

Pee a lot! Drink lots of water! That's the only way to clean it out quickly. There are also those pills that help you clean your system, but I don't know what they are called. I've never needed them.

Pubococcygeal muscle.  It's the muscle in the pubic area that's used to start and stop the flow of urine.

frogs have a cloaca, a single reservoir for both urine and feces.  Fortunately in humans these are divided so we have one opening for urine and another for feces.

Blood has lots of functions.  It carries oxygen and nutrients.  It causes clotting.  It is the avenue which the kidneys use to remove waste from our bodies.

Muscular System\n\nMuscle tissue can be organized into separate muscles that are considered individual organs. Together, they form the muscular system.The cells in a muscle have two major duties: movement and heat production. Although the joints of the skeletal system allow movement, they cannot make the movement themselves. For this they require the contraction of striated muscle. Movement inside the body cavity is provided by muscles made up of smooth muscle cells. For example, the movement of food through the digestive tract is provided by the smooth muscles in the esophagus, stomach, and intestines. Urine is moved through the urinary system by smooth muscles in the ureters, bladder, and urethra. Air is moved in and out of the lungs by smooth muscle in the diaphragm. The muscular system also serves as the major heat generator for the body, keeping tissues warm.\n\nMuscle is made almost entirely of protein. When protein intake through food is low or when food protein is not digested or absorbed properly, it must come from some other source. That source is the muscle tissue. Even when enough protein is provided by the diet, cancer cells will raid the muscles for protein to change into glucose. When muscle tissue decreases, the individual muscle is less able to perform its job, causing weakness in movement and the sensation of coldness due to loss of heat production. Although cancer of the muscular system is very rare, cancer in general can cause a serious loss of muscle tissue.\n\nEndocrine System\nThe endocrine system includes the pituitary and pineal glands; the hypothalamus, thyroid, and adrenal glands; the pancreas; and the testes or ovaries and placenta. These glands release their hormones into the bloodstream directly, as opposed to the exocrine glands, which release their products into ducts. The cell citizens of an endocrine gland are writers. They compose messages called hormones, which are distributed primarily through the bloodstream. Glands perform the same job as the nervous system: communication, integration, and control of bodily functions. The signals travel slower but are much longer lasting. Hormones are the main regulators of metabolism, growth and development, and reproduction.\n\nEndocrine cell tumors are called carcinoids. Cancers of the endocrine system include the following:\n\nGerm cell cancers—These include testicular cancer (male), gestational trophoblasic neoplasms (placental), and ovarian cancer (female). Pancreatic cancer—Over 90 percent of the carcinomas of the pancreas are mucinous adenocarcinomas that originate in the pancreatic duct. Thyroid cancer. Because they stimulate abnormal hormone production, cancers of the endocrine system are often able to produce symptoms in distant sites.\n\nHope this helps, good luck.

There are many ways in which these two systems work together to maintain homeostasis but let's keep it simple if we can...\nBy excretory system I imagine you are referring to the kidneys, ureter, bladder, etc. This system receives about a quarter of the blood volume from each stroke of the heart, and filters out the impurities and excess water from the bloodstream. By doing this the kidneys (along with the lungs) help to maintain the pH of the blood (maintain the acid to base balance.) If the pH varies too much then the person's life could be in danger. By removing excess minerals from the body the kidneys also prevent potential life-threatening problems from occurring. For example, if you have too much potassium in your body, even though it is necessary to have some, your heart could stop. \nBy removing excess water from the blood, along with producing certain hormones, the kidneys also help blood pressure from getting too high or low. A healthy heart and blood vessels also contribute to maintaining blood pressure by constricting and expanding the vessels, and by changing the rate of your pulse. Hope this helps some...

our kidneys also control the blood pressure in our bodies by secreting a hormone called renin.
