Reptiles kidneys excrete wastes in a watery fluid called what?
Urine
How do the kidneys help maintaining homeostasis?
There are many functions of the kidneys that maintain homeostasis. In addition to filtering wastes, the kidneys use hormones to regulate blood pressure and altering the sodium and electrolyte balances to maintain proper fluid balances within the body. The kidneys help to maintain the internal balance in the body by excreting substances that change that balance. The kidneys also help to maintain water balance.
The kidneys filter from the blood and form urine.?
interstitial fluid
What is the organ that filter wastes and other substances out of the blood?
The kidney is the organ responsible for filtering wastes and other substances out of the blood. It helps regulate fluid balance, electrolyte levels, and blood pressure by removing waste products and excess substances from the body through urine.
Do the kidneys remove carbon dioxide?
No, the kidneys do not remove carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is primarily removed from the body through the lungs during the process of respiration. The kidneys are responsible for filtering waste products from the blood and regulating fluid balance.
What is the kidneys' job in the human body?
Its job is to filter the wastes and excess fluid from our body, the wastes and fluids are excreted as urine and the nutrients are still on our body. The kidney also aids in the regulation of blood pressure, keeping the balance of electrolytes, and the absorption of excess water and glucose.
What system plays biggest role in fluid balance?
Kidneys play biggest role in fluid balance. They are part of the excretory system.
What fluid gets rid of water urea and other wastes?
Urine is the fluid that gets rid of water, urea, and other metabolic wastes from the body. It is produced by the kidneys and eliminated from the body via the urinary system.
The primary job of the kidneys?
The kidneys are organs with several functions. They are an essential part of the urinary system and also serve homeostatic functions such as the regulation of electrolytes, maintenance of acid-base balance, and regulation of blood pressure. They serve the body as a natural filter of the blood, and remove wastes which are diverted to the urinary bladder. In producing urine, the kidneys excrete wastes such as urea and ammonium; the kidneys also are responsible for the reabsorption of water, glucose, and amino acids.
What role does the blood stream have in the excretory system?
Kidneys have got heavy blood supply. Kidneys filter out about 180 litres of fluid per day. About 177 to 179 litres fluid is reabsorbed. This is necessary in order to filter out the nitrogenous waste products of metabolism.
What is the name of the fluid that let's the brain take in nutrients and remove wastes with blood?
Cerebral spinal fluid
What is the role of urinary bladder in excretory system?
The kidneys and urinary bladder work together, yes, but they are in the URINARY system. They process and get rid of fluid waste. But they are NOT in the excretory system.The kidneys process the fluid wastes, then releases the fluid as urine, which is stored in the urinary bladder.The work alongside the excretory system. The excretory system processes solid and semi-solid wastes by drawing fluid into the small intestines. When done processing the waste, the large intestines releases excess fluids over to the kidneys to process the fluid. At times when this balance is not maintained, such as during the flu, the intestines releases wastes as diarrhea because there isn't enough time between excretions to shuttle the excess fluids to the kidneys.
