besides removing waste products from the bloodstream, the urinary system performs many other functions, including which three of the following?

leukocyte production
erythropoietin production
acid - base balance
urine storage

Explanation:

• Erythropoietin production: The kidneys (part of the urinary system) produce erythropoietin, which stimulates red blood cell production.
• Acid - base balance: The urinary system helps regulate the body's acid - base balance by excreting hydrogen ions and reabsorbing bicarbonate ions.
• Urine storage: The urinary bladder (part of the urinary system) stores urine until it is excreted from the body.
• Leukocyte production: Leukocytes (white blood cells) are mainly produced in the bone marrow, not the urinary system.

Answer:

erythropoietin production, acid - base balance, urine storage
