    organs of excretion. Their main function is to separate urine from the blood which flows through it. Each kidney receives blood through the renal artery and are drained by the renal veins. The excretory units of the kidneys are called nephrons. The nephrons filter out water‚ wastes and other substances such as urea and salts from the blood. This is followed by the reabsorption of water and other essential substances such as amino acids and glucose by the kidneys. The waste (or filtrate) are

    The excretory system eliminates wastes from the body while also maintaining water and chemical balances. The main organs of the excretory system are the kidneys‚ the ureters‚ the bladder‚ the urethra‚ the skin‚ and the lungs. The main things that the body must excrete are nitrogen wastes and carbon dioxide. Nitrogen wastes are a byproduct of protein metabolism. Protein metabolism is the making of amino acids into proteins and the breaking-down of proteins into amino acids. Carbon dioxide

    a shell around the medulla. The tissues dip into the medulla between the adjacent renal pyramids to form renal columns. The granular appearance of the cortex is due to the random arrangement of tiny tubules associated with nephrons‚ the functional units of the kidney. Nephrons are the most basic structure of the kidneys‚ it is a long‚ fine tubule around 30-55mm long and each

    reabsorption and water retention. The increased Na in the blood will be filtered into the nephron. The increase makes the sodium transporters not able to reabsorb all of the sodium. Therefore‚ excess sodium and water will remain in the lumen (3). The excess sodium will be excreted into the urine and eliminated from the body. A substance can remain in the blood depending on the amount filtered into the nephron and the amount reabsorbed or secreted by

    Case Study: Urinary‚ Fluid & Electrolyte balance The cardiovascular system and the urinary system are intimately entwined. When the cardiovascular system experiences stress‚ the urinary system can be directly impacted. For example in hemorrhagic shock‚ when the body is rapidly depleted of circulating blood volume‚ the kidneys are often one of the first vital organs affected due to lack of perfusion. The kidneys are dependent on the sufficient cardiac output that the heart delivers. So when the
