GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Each kidney contains about one million tiny units called nephrons. Each nephron is made up of a very small filter, called a glomerulus, which is attached to a tubule. As blood passes through the nephron, fluid and waste products are filtered out.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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-4: -Your kidneys act like a filter to remove wastes and extra fluid from your body. Your kidneys filter about 200 quarts of blood each day to make about 1 to 2 quarts of urine. The urine contains wastes and extra fluid. This prevents buildup of wastes and fluid to keep your body healthy.

Detailed explanation-5: -The urinary system is one of the body’s systems which helps us to dispose of the waste products naturally produced within the body. The main structures, in this system are: Two kidneys – which lie behind the other major organs in the lower back area.
