=(Them song)= =//__**Gibston**:__// Here we are with BWN4 with myself Gibston Biggster and Bartholomew Deshauj. Today we'll be talking about the Urinary and Excretory system. We have a special guest here today, his name is Bobo and he is a serious pain causer. Bobo is a Kidney Stone. But first we'll be talking about the basics of the urinary and excretory system.= =//__**Bartholomew:**__// Thanks Gibston. Excretory and Urinary are the two names of the liquid waste removal system. Your excretory system is made up of four main parts. The //Kidneys, Ureters, Bladder, Urethra.//= =** __Gibston:__ ** Each of these things plays an important role in your body. The Ureters connect your kidney to your bladder. And each kidney has one Ureter so there are two ureters. The Urethra allows liquids to leave your body from your bladder. There is only one urethra because there is only one bladder.= =**__Bartholomew:__** The bladder is the only thing in your excretory/urinary that changes size. This changes size because the bladder is what holds the urine and when the bladder fills up with urine it will expand. The kidney performs five main functions. The kidney cleans waste material from the blood, retains or excretes salt and water, regulates blood pressure, Stimulates bone marrow to make red blood cells, and controls the amount of calcium and phosphorous absorbed and excreted.= =__**Gibston:**__ Alright, thanks Bartholomew for that important information on the urinary/excretory system. Now we're going to go down to see what Bobo, the kidney stone, is up to. So know we go into the kidney. (Camera zooms in on a kidney)= =**__BOBO: It's great down here Gibston! (Leans against side of Kidney and hears scream in background). I'm going to tell you what a Kidney stone, like myself, does and is. I'm made of calcium and oxalate crystallized together. To get rid of me you must urinate with force. I'm am only one of the many diseases that are in the excretory/urinary system. (Flushing sound in the back round). AHHHH it's coming it's the time! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!__**= =**__Gibston: OK then, thank you for telling us what a Kidney stone is BOBO. Which, by the way, is only one of the many diseases that may be found in the excretory/ urinary system.__**= =**__BOBO: No problem Gibston! I'm open to you any time, I hope. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!__**= =**__Bartholomew: Yes, as Gibston said, a kidney stone is only on of the many diseases that can be in the excretory/ urinary system. Well, that should rap it up for today folks! See you next time on WBN4 as we talk about the skeletal system!__**= =**__(Them song)__**=
