MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Your urinary system, also called the renal system or urinary tract, removes waste from your blood in the form of urine. It also helps regulate your blood volume and pressure, and controls the level of chemicals and salts (electrolytes) in your body’s cells and blood.

Detailed explanation-2: -Healthy kidneys filter about a half cup of blood every minute, removing wastes and extra water to make urine. The urine flows from the kidneys to the bladder through two thin tubes of muscle called ureters, one on each side of your bladder. Your bladder stores urine.

Detailed explanation-3: -The kidney and urinary systems help the body to get rid of liquid waste called urea.

Detailed explanation-4: -The kidneys remove waste from the blood through tiny filtering units called nephrons. Each nephron is made up of a ball of small blood capillaries, called a glomerulus. There is also a small tube called a renal tubule, which drains the urine and joins other tubules carrying the urine out of the kidney to the ureter.

Detailed explanation-5: -Kidneys are a special filter system for your body. Kidneys remove waste products from the blood and produce urine. Kidneys control the levels of many substances in the blood. Kidneys help to control your blood pressure.
