Does Food And Water Pass Through Urinary System?

The fluids that come in our body from eating or drinking, only reach the kidneys to start the Urinary Process, by traveling through our bloodstream? Food and water does not go travel through our Urinary System as it goes through our Digestive System when we eat or drink? Is this true?

Hi. What a great question. Yes, all the food and water we take goes to the intestines. This is absorbed by the intestines and all is transported to the liver and then to the body. The urine is a outcome of a filtration of the serum in the blood through a complicated system of the kidneys wherein all the essential things are reabsorbed and the wastage material extra water that the body does not need is excreted as urine through the kidneys to the ureter to the bladder and passed out through urethra.
