    to ascending limb of the loop of Henle. After that‚ the blood will filtrate at distal tubule. The distal tubule also contributes in pH regulation by control the secretion of hydrogen ions and reabsorption of bicarbonate ions. The last process in nephron is collecting duct. This process is filtrate into urine. All the substances that have been filtrate will secrete into

    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
