The excretory system eliminates wastes. Identify the waste materials described. Filtered material from the blood that includes toxins like urea, salts, and even excess water. Composed of excess water, salt, and a urea that are released from glands. A mixture of undigested material, bacteria, and other materials that cannot be used by the body.
The tubes that carry urine from the kidney to the bladder are called the The is the functional unit of the kidney where blood is filtered, water and other dissolved substances are reabsorbed, and urine is produced. is a toxic waste material caused from the breakdown of proteins.
What is the function of the structure labeled C in the diagram to the right?
Put the following steps for urine formation in order from first (step 1) to last (step 4). Filtrate travels down the nephron tubule. Blood is filtered in the glomerulus and captured in Bowman’s capsule. Urine is collected in vessels and leaves the kidneys. Beneficial molecules and water are reabsorbed into the blood.
Inventions are great examples of the scientific processes at work. For example, the dialysis machine was a result of which of the following?
excreting blood
