How are waste products transported to the kidney?
Waste products are transported to the kidneys primarily through the bloodstream. Blood containing metabolic waste, such as urea and creatinine, flows through the renal arteries into the kidneys.

This process ensures that harmful substances are effectively removed from the body.
