Removes water and waste from blood to bladder?
The kidneys remove water and waste from blood, turning them into urine. The urine is then sent to the bladder for storage before excretion.
What is the term for liquid waste sent out of the body when the bladder contracts?
Urine is the scientific term for liquid waste expelled by contraction of the urinary bladder.
What happen to the blood in the kidney?
Waste and excess water is filtered out and sent to the bladder as urine.
Where does urine go after the nephron?
It goes into ureters,then from there goes into urinary bladder(urine stores here) and then excreted out from the body through urethra.
Is a kidney or bladder infection contagious?
Kidney/Bladder both internal organs and NOT contagious. The patients urine etc is not toxic to affect others as these discharge is sent to toilets
How is urine produced in the human male?
Urine is produced the same way in both males and females. It is a filtrate of the blood. The kidneys filter waste out of the blood, this waste is then sent to the bladder, and this waste is urine. From the bladder it moves through the urethra and is then voided. A man's urethra is considerably longer than a woman's, and a man's urethra terminates at the head of the penis.
How does the bladder work?
Well the bladder of course is a reservoir, it's a storage vehicle for urine. Its primary function is to keep the urine in a place that is water tight without letting the urea and the waste products be reabsorbed into the body until the individual can find time to empty the bladder. A whole sequence of events occurs when the bladder has filled and a signal is sent to the brain that there's been filling. Basically, the urethra has a sphincter muscle within it; one in women, and two in men--the second one being within the prostrate gland. So the first step is that the brain has signalled that the bladder's full, and the urethra, or urethras, will then relax, and allow opening of the channel, then the bladder will contract, thus expelling urine from the body.
How much water can a kidney hold?
Kidneys do not hold water. Your kidneys are designed to filter your blood and remove impurities. The resulting product of the filtering process is called urine. The urine is then sent to the bladder via the ureters where it is held until you get the urge to void (pee). The amount a bladder can hold varies depending on the person and the size of the bladder. Generally, no more than about 1000cc ( the amount of a 32oz big gulp). Holding your urine, whether on purpose or due to a medial condition beyond this amount is unhealthy, and can back up into the kidneys causing a medical condition called hydronephrosis and/or nephritis ( over-distention of the kidneys, kidney infection).
How much blood enter the kidney per minute?
In an otherwise healthy person with no cardiac problems, 100-120 cc's/mLs of unfiltered blood enter each kidney and are filtered at the glomerulus per minute. 99% of this is reabsorbed in the tubules, and thus only about .5cc is sent to the bladder per minute. Thus it is true that the average person forms 30cc urine per hour.
What is emptying the bladder controlled by?
The micturition reflex tells you when you need to empty your bladder. This happens on average four to eight times a day. The reflex is controlled by your central nervous system. When your bladder is about half full, the stretch receptors in the walls of your bladder become active and send signals along your pelvic nerves to your spinal cord. A reflex signal is sent back to your bladder, which makes the detrusor muscle in the bladder wall contract. The contraction increases the pressure in your bladder, and this is what makes you want to pass urine. Because the external sphincter is under voluntary control, you don't urinate until you decide to relax this muscle. simple answer would be this; Sphincter muscle that surrounds the urethra.
Does the gallbladder filter toxic substances?
The liver filters out toxic substances from the bloodstream. But tucked in against the liver is the much smaller gall bladder. The gall bladder makes and stores bile, which is sent to the digestive system to aid digestion of fats.
Do the human bladder empty through the kidney?
No. Waste is filtered out of the blood by the kidneys. The liquid waste is then sent to the bladder to be emptied through the urethra.
