UNIT 5 P3 RENAL SYSTEM

Content preview

Renal system


The renal system is designed to remove
waste products such as urea as well as ions
and water from our blood.
The kidneys contain nephrons which remove
any waste before reabsorbing anything the
body needs.
Waste is stored in the bladder before being
removed urine.
The kidneys, ureter, urethra, and bladder all
work together to ensure that the renal system
functions correctly.
The renal arteries take blood with waste to
the kidneys to be filtered.
This filtered blood is then returned through
the renal veins.
Blood vessels take the blood through the
kidneys.
The waste is removed into convoluted tubules
which join together to form the ureter.
The ureter transports urine to the bladder
where it is stored.
The urine is
then passed from the bladder to the urethra to be
released.
The renal artery is found on the left side of the
abdominal aorta. This supplies the kidneys with blood.
The renal veins connect the kidney to the inferior vena
cava and carry the blood which is filtered by the
kidney.
