maintains the internal environment of the body by selectively excreting or retaining various substances according to specific body needs. The process of urine formation and adjustment of blood composition involves three processes: glomerular filtration‚ tubular reabsorption‚ and tubular secretion. The first part of the process of urine formation occurs in the glomeruli which act as filters‚ allowing water‚ glucose‚ salt and waste materials to pass through to the Bowman’s capsule but preventing and

(right). The product of the kidneys is urine‚ a watery solution of waste products‚ salts‚ organic compounds‚ and two important nitrogen compounds: uric acid and urea. Uric acidresults from nucleic acid decomposition‚ and urea results from amino acid breakdown in the liver. Both of these nitrogen products can be poisonous to the body and must be removed in the urine. Nephron The functional and structural unit of the kidney is the nephron. The nephron produces urine and is the primary unit of homeostasis

Function The urinary system helps maintain homeostasis by regulating water balance and by removing harmful substances from the blood. The blood is filtered by two kidneys‚ which produce urine‚ a fluid containing toxic substances and waste products. From each kidney‚ the urine flows through a tube‚ the ureter‚ to the urinary bladder‚ where it is stored until it is expelled from the body through another tube‚ the urethra. The kidneys are surrounded by three layers of tissue: The renal fascia
