What else can I help you with?
The kidneys are organs that are involved in which process in mammals?
Excretion
In mammals the amount of the water in the body is controlled mainly by the what?
kidneys
What is the main organs in keeping water balance in mammals and birds?
kidneys
What is the tube that leas to the bladder?
The ureter is the tube that leads from the kidneys to the bladder (in mammals).
Is secretion a function of kidneys?
Yes, but in mammals it is a minor function. (In salt water fish it is their major function.)
How do meerkats excrete?
The excretory system of meerkats is similar to that of other mammals. They have kidneys and a urinary bladder, and their urine is liquid.
Why are the kidney in most mammals are enclosed in fat?
The kidneys in most mammals are enclosed in fat primarily for protective and insulating purposes. The fat layer, known as perirenal fat, cushions the kidneys against physical trauma and helps maintain their position within the abdominal cavity. Additionally, the fat serves as an energy reserve and aids in thermoregulation, helping to keep the kidneys at a stable temperature. This protective adaptation is crucial for the kidneys' vital role in filtering blood and maintaining homeostasis.
How many kidneys dose a mouse have?
A mouse has two kidneys, just like most mammals. These kidneys are responsible for filtering blood, removing waste, and regulating fluids in the body. Their size and structure are adapted to the mouse's small body, functioning efficiently to maintain homeostasis.
Where do mammals have bladders?
Mammals, including humans, have bladders located within their lower abdomen. The bladder is a muscular organ that stores urine produced by the kidneys until it is released from the body through the urethra.
How many kidneys do a piegon have?
Pigeons, like most birds, have two kidneys. These kidneys are responsible for filtering waste from the bloodstream and regulating water and electrolyte balance, which is crucial for their metabolism and overall health. The structure and function of avian kidneys differ somewhat from those of mammals, reflecting their unique adaptations for flight and other physiological needs.
Does a rooster have nuts?
Roosters do not have "nuts" in the same way that mammals do. Instead, they have testes, which are internal and located near the kidneys. These testes produce sperm and hormones but are not externally visible like the testicles of many mammals.
The composition and levels of body fluids in mammals are controlled by the?
Kidneys. "Mammals have highly developed kidneys that help control the composition of body fluids... The kidneys of mammals help maintain homeostasis by filtering urea from the blood, as well as by excreting excess water or retaining needed water."References:Miller, K. R., & Levine, J. (2006).
