the renal artery carries the oxygenated blood to the kidney.Inside the kidney there are neuphrons. Neuphrons contains structures such as glomerulus, bowman's capsules, loop of henle and collecting duct. at first in the glomerulus blood is at high pressure, the soluble parts of blood are forced out by ultrafiltration. the filtrate of glomerulus is collected by the bowman's capsule.The filtrate that is collected contains amino acids ,salts and nitrogenous waste products.The filtrate travels along the loop of henle and all the useful substances are reabsorbed into the surrounding blood capillaries against a concentration gradient. Urine (the remaining fluids) passes down the collecting duct to the pelvis.
It takes excess nutrients minerals and water from your body and excess means
more than the quota.

This sounds bizarre to people who hear it for the first time, but urine comes directly out of the blood. When you think for a moment, you realize this means that your blood has urine in it, or at least the fluids that are becoming urine at this very moment. Your blood carries all the nutrients that you take in and delivers it to all the cells of your body where the nutrients are converted to energy, to proteins for building body tissues, and some to fat. The blood also takes away the waste products of all of that work being done on the cellular level. It is the job of the kidneys to filter out all the waste materials and send it on its way for disposal. The kidneys are positively amazing. They can't really know ahead of time what is going to show up in the blood as waste, so instead the filtering process involves taking out everything and then putting back into the blood what it knows belongs there. Of course the kidneys aren't perfect and various substances can interfere with their work, but the system is a marvel nonetheless.
The waste material is sent to the bladder as urine, where it awaits voiding through the urethra. As one of the major bodily waste materials urine is easy to think of as dirty and full of germs. There may be very low levels of some harmless bacteria in the urine. But stop to think. If the urine when it is freshly voided is full of germs and disease, that would mean that your bladder is full of germs and disease, and possibly even the kidneys and blood. You don't want to necessarily 'make friends' with urine, but it is not in and of itself filthy. And after voiding, it becomes a rich nutrient solution for any number of bacteria looking for a nice soup to live in. Pasteur used it in his famous swan flask experiments for that very reason.
Depends on the person but usually 1.5 litres
It moves to the bladder for storage and when the bladder gets full the urine is excreted.

false
the kidneys regulate urine production by monitoring blood levels of water and electrolytes (amoung many other things) in the plasma
In the glomerulus. Note this is not filtration of urine, it is the filtration of blood leading to the production of urine as a waste product.
adenohypophysis
Pheromones are chemicals released naturally by the body when we sweat. They are known to attract the opposite sex. Because they are produced by testosterone, you can increase pheromone production by exercising daily. Another way to increase pheromone production is to take a zinc or DHEA supplement.
false
Diminished or scant urine production is oliguria. Anuria is absent urine production.
Anuria means lack of urine production (or extremely low urine production).
Not sure
The microscopic, functional unit of the kidney and the site of urine-production is the Nephron.
An athlete produces large quantities of sweat as a result the kidneys change the rate of urine production. This is because decreased urine production increases the amino acids in the blood.
liquids and watery or wet foods increase urine production.
Increased urine production does not cause a condition. Rather, it is a symptom caused by a disorder; most typically, diabetes mellitus.

Exxonmobil had a daily production of 3.921 million BOE (barrels of oil equivalent) in 2008.
Since the hypothalamus is involved in thirst, it will have a part in the production of urine.
