kidneys-

what is the liver function that links these 3 pictures together?

absorb paracetamol

pass through alcohol

deamination is liver function where toxic waste is produced. Explain this function:

the production of bile is another liver function

kidneys-

they filter out all the bad stuff down to the bladder ready for excretion.

blood supply to the kidneys-

once oxygen in the blood has been used by nephrons it replaces it with waste product, known as carbon dioxide.

this is now deoxygenated blood.

the working units are known as nephrons.

the renal vien will take deoxygenated blood back to the heart and into the lungs

there are thousands of neuphrones in the medulla, the medulla is surrounded by the cortex.

convoluted

kidnesy: there role is to

all happen in the medulla

filtration of blood and toxic waste-

step one - after deamination and detoxification in the liver urea is transported in the blood here.
step two- the glomeruslus and bowmans capusle act as. a filter because
the blood pressure is high
the capillaries narrow
plasma is forced out of the capillary walls into the bowmans capsule (filtering process)
Plasma takes waste (urea) water and nutirents with it
known as ultrafilteration
step three-urea then makes its way down through the loop henle and into the collecting duct before it exits the nephron
once the neuphrones have succesfully filtered the waste products into the cortex tget exit via the collecting ducts in the medulla.
collecting ducts pass urea into the calyx and onto the ureter.
