The kidneys continuously filter the blood, which allows them to control
the body's fluid balance. The contaminants in the blood are removed as it
enters a nephron, emptied into the collecting tubules, and then removed
through the venule. Additionally, it saves water and, if necessary,
produces urine with surplus water. Additionally, it filters away blood to
alter blood volume.
CONCLUSION:
The kidneys excrete waste products and regulates the concentration of major ions in
the body fluid. The role of the kidney in the blood pressure is by regulating the volume of
urine that are produced. The kidney is behind the peritoneum and surrounded by a renal
capsule and adipose tissue. Urine is produced by filtration, tubular reabsorption, and
tubular secretion.
The nutrients in the body are converted into energy by the body. As a result, waste
products are left in the blood and bowel. The trash is then removed with help from the
urinary system. The urinary system is made up of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and
urethra. This system filters out excess water and trash in addition to your blood. Each
component of the urinary system contributes in a distinct way to urine flow. The urinary
system, which also removes toxins from the blood, maintains the body's acid-base
balance. This system regulates the electrolyte balance, blood volume, and chemical
composition of the blood.
