The kidneys remove wastes from the body by
producing urine, which
is basically a mixture of water and whatever wastes your body needs to
get rid of.
Urine is carried from the kidneys to the bladder
by tubes called ureters.
Urine collects in the bladder and, when the bladder is full, exits the
body through another tube, called the urethra.
A healthy adult produces about two liters of urine a day.
When the kidneys are working properly, they keep your
blood free of wastes. |
