ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The kidneys act as very efficient filters for ridding the body of waste and toxic substances, and returning vitamins, amino acids, glucose, hormones and other vital substances into the bloodstream. The kidneys receive a high blood flow and this is filtered by very specialised blood vessels.

Detailed explanation-2: -The kidneys filter that blood about 40 times a day! More than 1 million tiny filters inside the kidneys remove the waste.

Detailed explanation-3: -The kidneys filter wastes from the blood and help balance water, salt, and mineral levels in the blood. To do this, blood from the body enters the kidney. Inside the kidney, blood is filtered and waste is removed. Salt, water, and minerals are added if needed.

Detailed explanation-4: -The kidneys are powerful chemical factories that perform the following functions: remove waste products from the body. remove drugs from the body. balance the body’s fluids.

Detailed explanation-5: -Oxygenated blood is brought to the kidneys from a small branch called the renal artery. The kidneys are highly complicated “filtration factories.” Inside each kidney, the renal artery branches into smaller and smaller parts until they make contact with the core structure of the kidney, the nephrons.
