Why purification of blood also referred to as gaseous exchange?
The blood carries both nutrients (food) and wastes to and from cells. At the lungs carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen and at the kidneys blood is filtered and wastes and some water is lost. Most of the water is retained.
What happens as wastes are filterd in a nephron?
first both wastes and needed materials,such as glucose,are filtered out of the blood.then,much of the needed material is returned to the blood,and the wastes are eliminated from the body
How does blood get cleaned in the kidneys?
Actually I believe that in the kidneys there are little compartments in the kidneys that the blood goes through and at some point the blood gets filtered and the blood falls through but the bad stuff gets captured because the things that the blood goes through is too small for the bad stuff to get through. Its like how a colander works.
What are some examples of nitrogenous wastes that are removed by the kidneys?
The kidneys (a pair) are the filtering devices of blood. The kidneys remove waste products from metabolism such as urea, uric acid, and creatinine by producing and secreting urine.
What are some materials that are filtered from the blood?
When blood is flowing through your kidneys and getting filtered a lot of things that go through the filter are salts, water, urea, glucose and some amino acids go through. Later on much of the water, salt and some glucose and amino acids get reabsorbed. So much of what your urine is composed of is urea, water, salt with extremely small amounts of glucose and amino acids.
Besides your urinary system what other organs in your body helps excretion?
The respiratory system (lungs) allows the expulsion of gases and other wastes through respiration, the gastrointestinal system and intestines prepare and move the solid wastes, the liver filters toxins from the blood for excretion, much like the kidneys do to put wastes in the urinary system, the circulatory system (blood) moves the wastes from other parts of the body to the kidneys and liver to be prepared for excretion and the integumentary system (skin) excretes metabolic wastes in sweat and some chemical wastes can be also be excreted in tears.

What organ acts as filters by removing wastes such as urea from the blood?
The kidneysAnswer 2 Urea in the blood is a by-product of protein metabolism, where nitrates/amines are used. These nitro compounds are unwanted by the body, and are converted to the soluble salt urea to be removed by the kidneys. [Kidneys or their progenitors, nephridia, are a very early organism in evolution.]Water is generally not an unwanted product in the body, and some of the intestine system is devoted to recovering water from the other solid waste products. [In part it is a failure of this mechanism that causes problems as in diarrhoea]If there is surplus water, it is also excreted by the kidneys.Your urine should be a light yellow colour. Any darker, and you are probably not getting enough water. If this is so, the functioning of the kidneys will be impaired.
Which organ filters wastes?
The correct answer is twofold. The liver filters some substances and metabolizes or breaks them down into byproducts. These byproducts or waste will then be filtered by the kidneys in varying degrees. Which means that not everything that passes through the kidneys comes out in the urine. A percentage of necessary things are needed by the body such as proteins, sodium, potassium and other elements which are essential to the running of the body.
How does the kidney help in excretion?
The kidneys are the organs responsible for filtering the blood in our body. in other words, it removes metabolic wastes such as urea (deaminated proteins) water, salts and some heat from the blood and all these are excreted as urine.

What makes up the kidneys?
the kidneys are made up of even smaller parts .some parts eliminate wastes that are no longer needed by the body
