  Urology - The Urinary System:...

  The urinary system, also known as the excretory or renal system, plays a crucial role in maintaining the body’s internal balance by regulating the composition of the blood, removing waste products, and ensuring proper fluid and electrolyte levels. It consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra, each of which plays an essential role in the formation, storage, and excretion of urine. This system is not only responsible for removing waste products but also for maintaining the body’s homeostasis, which is critical for overall health and function. 
  At the core of the urinary system are the kidneys, which are two bean-shaped organs located near the middle of the back, just below the rib cage. The kidneys filter approximately 200 liters of blood daily, removing waste and excess substances, such as salts and toxins. These waste products are transformed into urine, which is then transported to the bladder for storage. The kidneys also regulate important functions, such as blood pressure, red blood cell production, and calcium levels, by releasing various hormones and enzymes. This intricate process allows the kidneys to maintain the body’s internal balance, ensuring the proper function of organs and tissues. 
  The ureters are muscular tubes that connect the kidneys to the bladder. Their primary role is to transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder through a series of peristaltic movements, which are wave-like contractions that push the urine downward. The bladder is a hollow, muscular organ that serves as a reservoir for urine. As the bladder fills with urine, its walls stretch, and stretch receptors send signals to the brain, prompting the sensation of the need to urinate. When it’s time to void, the bladder contracts and expels the urine through the urethra.

  After chasing a peaches and cream feral cat, with a mourning dove dangling from its mouth, through the yard, everything changes for Laura DiNunno. 
  Mourning the recent loss of her soul dog, and moving to upstate New York, she can’t seem to shake off the grief of pet loss and this little cat becomes a much-needed distraction. 
  What begins as innocently as throwing scraps of food out to a starving, and very pregnant, feral cat turns into feeding a small family of felines. But when tragedy strikes and two of the kittens die, the mother and her remaining babies are more vulnerable than ever. Now the broken-hearted human, who never cared for cats, finds herself in a “wild” relationship with them. 
  Filled with heart, and humor, this is the story of the ups and downs of a feral mom and her kittens, and the human they adopted, as they go from wild and struggling in an unforgiving landscape to mostly tame and living their best life inside.
