Detailed explanation-1: -The kidneys remove waste products called urea from the blood through tiny filtering units called nephrons. There are about one million nephrons in each kidney. Each nephron consists of a ball formed of small blood capillaries, called a glomerulus, and a small tube called a renal tubule.
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: -Urine is made in the renal tubules and collects in the renal pelvis of each kidney. The urine flows from the kidneys through the ureters to the bladder. The urine is stored in the bladder until it leaves the body through the urethra.
