Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The kidneys remove from the blood the nitrogenous wastes such as urea, as well as salts and excess water, and excrete them in the form of urine. This is done with the help of millions of nephrons present in the kidney. The filtrated blood is carried away from the kidneys by the renal vein (or kidney vein).

Detailed explanation-2: -The bean-shaped kidneys filter waste products out of the bloodstream and dispose of them by creating urine. Urine is made of these waste products dissolved in water.

Detailed explanation-3: -KIDNEYS. The kidneys remove metabolic wastes from the blood, control fluid balance by maintaining homeostasis, and provide important regulatory activities by secreting hormones.
