Answer 5

I shall shorten it down to 2 points:

1) Space: The reason why they are called waste is because they are worthless to our body. They do not contain nutrients that the body needs, and takes up space in the body. E.g. Faeces, Carbon dioxide etc.

2) Toxicity: Just as sewage is toxic, some metabolic wastes are also toxic for our body. for example, too much urea (the byproduct of protein metabolism) will lead to diseases such as gout, where the concentration of urea is high enough in the body to actually crystalised, and gets deposited in the joints, causing joint diseases.

what happens to the body if the urinary system no longer functions?

Answer 12

It all depends on how bad it is, but basically if your kidneys don't function properly your body will retain water and your blood, liver amongst other things can not get rid of toxins. If it is where a person doesn't urinate then dialysis will be needed immediately or the immune system will eventually breakdown and lead to other complications.
