“THE RENAL SYSTEM”
.
.
*the urinary system consists of* —>
.
*each ‘kidney’ consists of ‘functional units’ called ‘nephrons’*
.
(the purpose of the ‘renal system’ is to…)
*eliminate ‘waste’ from the ‘body’*
*regulate ‘blood volume’ + ‘blood pressure’*
*control levels of ‘electrolytes’ + ‘metabolites’*
*regulate ‘blood pH’*
.
(the ‘kidneys’ have an extensive ‘blood supply’ via the ‘renal arteries’ which leave the ‘kidneys’ via the ‘renal vein’)
.
(following ‘filtration’ of ‘blood’ + further ‘processing’, ‘wastes’ (in the form of ‘urine’) exit the ‘kidney’ via the ‘ureters’, ‘tubes’ made of ‘smooth muscle fibers’ that propel ‘urine’ towards the ‘urinary bladder’, where it is stored and subsequently expelled from the body via ‘urination’ (or ‘voiding’))
(the ‘female’ + ‘male’ urinary system are very similar, differing only in the ‘length’ of the ‘urethra’)
(‘urine’ is formed in the ‘kidneys’ through a ‘filtration’ of ‘blood’)
(the ‘urine’ is then passed through the ‘ureters’ to the ‘bladder’, where it is stored)
(during ‘urination’, the ‘urine’ is passed from the ‘bladder’ through the ‘urethra’ to the outside of the body)
(‘800 mL’ – ‘2,000 mL’ of ‘urine’ are normally produced every day in a ‘healthy human’)
.
(this amount varies according to ‘fluid intake’ + ‘kidney function’)
