The kidneys are vital organs in the urinary system responsible for filtering waste products and excess substances from the blood to form urine.
The ureters are muscular tubes that transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder, facilitating its storage before excretion.
The bladder acts as a temporary storage site for urine, holding it until it is convenient for excretion from the body through the urethra.
The nephron is the fundamental filtering unit of the kidney, crucial in maintaining the body's fluid balance and excreting waste.
The urine formation process involves initial filtration of blood plasma in the glomerulus, followed by selective reabsorption of nutrients and additional waste secretion.
The renal medulla contains structures such as the Loop of Henle, where urine becomes more concentrated through the reabsorption of water and solutes.
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) plays a key role in regulating water retention in the kidneys, aiding in the concentration of urine.
Urea is the main waste product found in urine, formed in the liver from ammonia, and filtered from the blood by the kidneys.
The urethral sphincter is a muscular structure that regulates the flow of urine from the bladder, maintaining continence until voluntary voiding.
The kidneys are retroperitoneal organs, lying behind the peritoneum membrane in the abdominal cavity, near the back muscles.
