The kidneys remove urea from the blood through tiny filtering units called nephrons.

Functional anatomy of the urinary system. Anatomy of the urinary system. Functional microscopic anatomy of the kidney and bladder 7. The main components of the urinary system are two kidneys two ureters the urinary bladder two sphincter muscles and the urethra.

The urinary system and its functions. Urea together with water and other waste substances forms the urine as it passes through the nephrons and down the renal tubules of the kidney. Each nephron consists of a ball formed of small blood capillaries called a glomerulus and a small tube called a renal tubule.

Kidney and urinary system parts and their functions. Excretion of nitrogenous waste products is the main function of the urinary system which if not eliminated from the body can become toxic and cause the death of an individual. Urea together with water and other waste substances.

Trace a drop of blood from the time it enters the kidney via the renal artery until it leaves the kidney through the renal vein. The urinary systems function is to filter blood and create urine as a waste by product. Renal artery segmental artery interlobar artery arcuate artery cortical radiate artery afferent arterioles glomerulus efferent arterioles peritubular.

The body takes nutrients from food and converts them to energy. Exercise 26 functional anatomy of the urinary system. The kidneys alone perform the functions just described and manufacture urine in the process while the other organs of the urinary system provide temporary storage reservoirs for urine or serve as transportation channels to carry it from one body region to another.

Distal convoluted tubule 6. Each nephron consists of a ball formed of small blood capillaries called a glomerulus and a small tube called a renal tubule. The organs of the urinary system include the kidneys renal pelvis ureters bladder and urethra.
