Excretion-metabolic wastes are eliminated by the body Reabsorption-process by which water in the body are returned to the blood return glucose salt 99% of water occurs in renal tubule Filtration-urea and other wawstes from the blood in the kidneys occurs in renal corpuscle Secretion-removal of certain substances such as drugs h+ from the blood occurs in serial tubule by active transport Urinary system-made up of kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra; Kidneys-filter the blood and remove wastes from it; control level of sodium ions which helps control osmotic pressure of blood; also regulate pH of blood by filtering hydrogen ions and letting bicarbonate to be reabsorbed into lood Diabetes-excess levels of glucose in the blood Ureter-tube connecting kidney to urnary bladder Urinary bladder-smooth muscle bag that stores a solution of wastes Nephron-unit of the kidney; 1 mil; filtering unit; blood entering a nephron has wasts from body cells and when it enters its under high pressure and flows into glomerlus; because of pressure water glucose vitamins amino acids protein waste products salts and ions from the blood pass out of the capillaries into the Bowman's capsule Bowman's capsule-U shaped tubule where water ions and glucose and amino acids are reabsorbed into the blood stream Glomerlus-bed of capillaries Urine-liquid that remains in tubules made of water, waste molecules, excess ions; 2L a day Urethra-urine passes out the body through this tube Waste products-nitrogenous wastes from breakdown of proteins; include ammonia and urea

For those who dont know, there are 2 kidneys in our body which makes it easier to get kidney diseases. There are many kidney diseases and one of them that effects most people is glomerula disease which is infered with kidney functions...

FILTRATION is the movement of water and small solutes, derived from blood and flowing through the glomerulus, across the porous filtration membrane. The filtrate includes water and small molecules and ions that easily pass through the filtration membrane...
