How does the urinary system regulate the fluid ionic balance of the body?

Answer:

The urinary system is the end step in the renal system which controls the amount of water retention in the body. Both blood volume and osmolality are regulated independently. When there is too much salt in the body the kidneys excrete the salt to the urine.
