In this page we will see important function of the kidneys in our body. Removal of Urine:  Simple proteins are called amino acids are broken down to form urea in the liver from ammonia. The urea thus formed is brought into the bloodstream. From the bloodstream the nitrogenous waste in the form of urea is carried to the two kidneys. The urea is passed out of the kidney with water, salts, and acids. This is called urine. Urine then passes down to the two ureters (two tube like structure from kidney) to the bladder (a sac like structure) and then to the urethra (a small opening outside the body) and then passed outside of the body. Thus the urea formed in the body is removed from the body. Electrolytes Balance:  Kidneys apart from removing urea from the blood, they also preserve the appropriate equilibrium of water, salts, and acids inside the body. Potassium, sodium, and some acids are called electrolytes. Electrolytes are the small molecules that conduct an electrical ...

We have learned so far about gastrointestinal (GI) system so far. In the coming posts we will learn about URINARY SYSTEM. Ok.  The contents of this system consists of: 1. Urinary system anatomy. 2. Urine production 3. Structure of urinary system 4. Urinalysis 5. Urinary system-Pathology (Kidneys, Bladder, and other organs) 6. Lab tests and procedures 7. Abbreviations We will see each subject one by one now…come on. URINARY SYSTEM-INTRODUCTION: FUNCTIONS OF THE KIDNEY: How food waste particles are removed from our body? Catabolism is a process of production of energy in the cells by the combination of oxygen and food. In this process neither the food or oxygen is not devastated. As an alternative, the small particles of food and oxygen are reorganized into new mishmash. These blend of amalgamation are ravage foodstuffs (sugars and fats and proteins). Food stuffs created in our body are of two mixtures: 1. Foods with Sugars and Fats 2. Pro...
