The kidneys are the organs that run the urinary system. The kidneys are the red blood cell makers and when they are working properly they produce red blood cells at a normal pace. Not only do they produce red blood cells but they clean the blood stream. The kidneys remove small waste from the blood stream and make sure the blood is clean in order for it to flow back into the body. The waste that has been taken out of the blood stream is then stored in the bladder, this is what is known as urine. Aside from removing waste from the blood stream the kidneys release three different hormones, erythropoietin this hormone stimulates bone marrow which produces blood cells, the second hormone is rennin and this hormone regulates blood pressure, and the last hormone is calcitriol which helps form vitamin D and produce calcium to keep your bones strong and healthy.
