Detailed explanation-1: -Kidney is the organ responsible for purification of blood. The major excretory product in humans is urea. Urea, excess water and other waste products are filtered from the blood by kidneys. Kidneys produce urine which has all these wastes and is thrown out while urination.
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: -Kidneys detoxify by secreting toxins or filtering toxins out of the blood into urine. Liver detoxifies by changing the chemical nature of many toxins. Kidney and liver are especially important. They are discussed separately because they work in different ways.
