ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Their main job is to cleanse the blood of toxins and transform the waste into urine. Each kidney weighs about 160 grams and gets rid of between one and one-and-a-half litres of urine per day. The two kidneys together filter 200 litres of fluid every 24 hours. to the blood.

Detailed explanation-2: -The urinary system includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. This system filters your blood, removing waste and excess water. This waste becomes urine.

Detailed explanation-3: -The kidneys remove urea from the blood through tiny filtering units called nephrons. Each nephron consists of a ball formed of small blood capillaries, called a glomerulus, and a small tube called a renal tubule.

Detailed explanation-4: -Each of the nephrons contain a filter called the glomerulus (pronounced: gluh-MER-yuh-lus). The fluid that is filtered out from the blood then travels down a tiny tube-like structure called a tubule (pronounced: TOO-byool). The tubule adjusts the level of salts, water, and wastes that will leave the body in the urine.

Detailed explanation-5: -The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs that filter your blood. Your kidneys are part of your urinary system. Your kidneys filter about 200 quarts of fluid every day-enough to fill a large bathtub. During this process, your kidneys remove waste, which leaves your body as urine (pee).
