What does it mean to have extra fluid in one of the tubes leading from you kidney to your bladder?

I'm thinking you must be talking about a condition called hydroureter, meaning distention of the ureter with fluid. This is caused by an obstruction of the ureter (the duct between the kidney and the bladder). Several things can cause this obstruction. The most common is kidney stones. These accretions of salts form in the kidney. When the body tries to pass them, they must go through the ureter, which is very narrow, not made for passing solids. So they get stuck, and fluid (urine) builds up behind the obstruction, distending the ureter like a balloon. Once the stone passes and the obstruction is relieved, the ureter returns to normal size. Hydroureter can be dangerous in that excessive back pressure can damage the kidney, which can occur if the obstruction persists.

Where will extra fluid end up if you drink too much?
In the bladder, to be peed out.
What are the Tubes leading from your kidneys to your bladder through which waste fluid drains?
they are the Floopa tubes
Function of parts the excretory system?
bladder-storage place for waste kidney-blood filters and fluid regulator
How does fluid overload in human body cause hyponatremia?
If you give excessive fluid to human, his kidney will excreate the extra water. But kidney can not excreate the plane water. It is going to wash 'some' salt along with the urine. So this causes hyponatremia.
Where does urine go when it exits the kidneys?
No where, because if your kidneys have shut down then they are not making any pee, so there is no pee to go anywhere. What happens is fluid and impurities that are usually filtered out by the kidneys builds up in your blood, the extra fluid builds up in feet, legs and arms and eventually the person will die, unless they do dialysis.
Does kidney disease affect blood?
If the blood vessels in the kidneys are damaged, they may stop removing wastes and extra fluid from the body. The extra fluid in the blood vessels may then raise blood pressure even more. It's a dangerous cycle.
What is the waste fluid held in the bladder'?
Urine
What is a fluid-filled body cavity?
the bladder
Collecting waste fluid?
kidney
2004 BMW R1200C How do you I add brake fluid to the clutch reservoir--- I unscrew the lid then do I simply pour the fluid on top of the bladder OR do I add fluid under the bladder?
Fluid goes under the bladder. The bladder is there to isolate the fluid from air, since it's air that causes degradation in the fluid. Also, make sure just what type of fluid the manual calls for, since some systems use mineral oil-based fluids (brake fluid is glycol based). Also, the fluid type may be called out on the reservoir cap itself.
Explain Why fluid flows from the capillaries of the kidneys into the kidney tubules?
because the fluid pressure in the capillaries is higher than that of kidney tubules
What is the metabolic pathway that is used to remove nitrogenous waste from the body?
Nitrogenous waste products are very toxic to brain tissue. So kidney has to do very much hard work to eliminate the same. Kidney filters out about 180 litres of fluid from the one million glomeruli each from the two kidneys. It reabsorbs about 178 litres back in circulation. So this job is done by excretory system. Which comprises kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra.
