Functions of Kidney:
kidney, skin,
two. like all mammals :)
A metanephric kidney is the functional kidney of adult amniotes, that is, the reptiles, birds, and mammals. It occupies a more caudal position in the body cavity and is a much larger, more compact structure containing many tubules. It is drained by a ureter.
The liver maintains water and electrolyte balance of the blood.
Mesonephric kidneys are the primitive excretory organs found in fish and amphibians, while metanephric kidneys are the more advanced excretory organs found in mammals, including humans. Metanephric kidneys filter blood to produce urine through nephrons, while mesonephric kidneys mainly function to remove waste products from the blood.
The heart-shaped kidney is characteristic of the horse. In horses, the left kidney is typically more rounded and shaped like a heart, while the right kidney has a more typical bean shape. This unique morphology is a notable distinction in equine anatomy compared to other mammals.
The kidney is the body structure that allows mammals to control body fluids and adapt to dry desert conditions. The kidney filters waste products from the blood and regulates the balance of water and electrolytes in the body, helping to conserve water and prevent dehydration in desert environments.
Urea. Since chickens do not have the kind of urinary system that mammals do, the waste from the kidney (birds only have one kidney, by the way), comes out VERY concentrated, to the point where it looks white. The black substance along with the white is the real fecal matter, from the waste that they expel from what they eat.
hey... there is alot of medical babble you can find about it out there easily enough. From what I understand they help the bladder to excrecte urine. I do know that they represent feelings about criticism, failure, and dissapointment. Hope that helps INI
The organ was called a kidney first. The kidney bean is called so because it is shaped like a kidney, the organ.
An accessory kidney is an "extra" kidney.
Kidney stones. Kidney failure.
