Solution

The major roles of the urinary system include:

  1. Removing metabolic waste
  2. Maintaining salt balance of the blood
  3. Maintaining pH of the blood

The urinary system does not play a direct role in protecting against pathogens or eliminating undigested food. Those functions are primarily carried out by the immune system and digestive system, respectively.
