Introduction:
Some substance must heed to be eliminated out of body like ammonia, Uric acid, Uria, Co2, water, either or by other means
Human Excretory System:
Excretory organs:
Homeostasis: The process of maintaining a constant body temperature to maintain all system and process in
Additional Excretory organs:
Skin: Many aquatic organisms excrete ammonia through skin ex. Starfish. Mammals loose small amo

Blood supply in kidney:
Kidney related problems:
Uremia: Presence of excess amount of urea in blood due to which excretion of urea is cells of body
Urine Formation:
The process of formation of urine is called Uropoiesis. This process involves three steps:
Osmo-regulatory role of kidney:
Water: Excess of water in blood increases the volume of
Nephrons:
It is the structural and functional unit of a kidney. It is a tube like structure. They increase surface area in kidney for more urine fo
Counter Current Mechanism:
Henle’s loop and Vasa recta plays on important role in this mechanism.
Vasa recta: Vas
Juxta glomerular apparatus:
This is a special region formed in DCT (Distal Convoluted tubule). It controls the regulation of glomerular filtr
Glomerular filtration rates:
The amount of filtrate formed by kidney per minute is called GFR. It is about 125 ml per minute, i.e.
Functions of kidney:
Removes urea/uric acid from blood.
Maintains osmo-regulation (ion & water
