Excretory System
Kidneys, Ureters, Bladder, Urethra
Kidney Cell
There are many types of kidney cells. For example, some are the Parietal cells, the Podocyte cells, and the mesangiel cells.
Kidney Tissue
The four basic tissues of the Kidney are, the Epithelial tissue, the connective tissue, the muscle tissue, and the nervous tissue.
Kidney
The Kidneys are bean shaped organs. They are the waste and disposal system of the body.
Excretory System
The Excretory System is responsible for the elimination of wastes.
Organism
Th Excretory system contains the organs that take wastes out of the body. Without it the body would not be able to survive.
Homeostasis
The Excretory system helps the body maintain homeostasis by getting rid of the wastes. For example, when you need to go to the bathroom, your kidneys filter urea from your blood which later becomes urine. When the Excretory system doesn't work, it could cause a serious illness or death. For example urea could build up and become deadly and toxic.
Interaction
The Excretory system interacts with the circulatory system, the endocrine system, and the digestive system. Blood circulates through one of the two Kidneys and urea, uric acid, and water are filters out of the blood. The Endocrine system controls the Excretory system. If you drink a lot of water, hormones are released that allow more urine production. The Excretory and Digestive systems work together by getting rid of wastes you eat and drink.
