It works much like your real kidneys.
Your kidneys work essentially with a "Salt imbalance". One half of a kidney has a higher saline content than the other half; when blood passes through, urea is "pulled" into the saltier side.

How is urea transported in the blood plasma?
nitrogenous waste is carried through the blood. the waste passes into the nephrons (kidney cells) inside the nephrons the blood passes through "the loop of henly" in which the waste is pulled out of the blood and send to the bladder to be concentrated as urea
What is the urea level in blood?
Urea is formed in the liver from excess proteins. Therefore, the blood that travels from the liver to the kidney via the heart has relatively high levels (but not unsafe levels) of urea. It is filtered completely in the kidneys, and passes out in the urine. Consequently, blood in the renal veins (ie. leaving the kidneys) should have no urea, as it is a toxin which, if allowed to accumulate in the body, can poison us.
Why does the red blood cell lyse in an isosmotic solution of urea?
Urea is isosmotic to the intracellular fluid of red blood cells, but because the membranes of the blood cells are permeable to urea. Urea enters the cell at a much more rapid rate than other permeable solutes (because of the steep concentration gradient) and the cell fills to it bursts.
Can urea neutralise pH water?
Urea water solution is neutral.
What is urea N 40?
Usually it means a 40% solution of Urea.

A 5 percent urea solution is hypotonic to a 10 percent urea solution?
true
How do you think the waste substances in the blood such as urea is removed from the blood through dialysis?
The kidneys rem ove urea and other toxic wastes from the blood, form ing a dilute solution called urine in the process. The two kidneys have a very extensive blood supply and the whole blood supply passes through the kidneys every 5 m i nutes, ensuring that waste m a terials do not build up. The renal artery carries blood to the kidney, while the renal vein carries blood, now with f a r lower concentrations of urea and m i neral ions, aw ay from the kidney. The urine form ed passes down the ureter to the bladder . Ureter (u rin e o u t )
Is blood urea and blood urea nitrogen same?
What is the difference between urea and BUN
What is boiling point of 1 molar urea solution?
Urea
What does a blood urea nitrogen test do?
The blood urea nitrogen (BUN) test measures the level of urea nitrogen in a sample of the patient's blood.
Is urea a base in water but acid in liquid ammonia?
The hydrolysed solution of urea is basic.In liquid ammonia urea act as proton donor and the solution is acidic.
