When blood leaves the liver, it contains wastes that need to be filtered or separated out by the kidneys. The kidneys remove waste products from the blood and excrete them as urine.

Liver!! --------------------------------- Kidney processes nutients and toxins in the blood but does not filter. Kidneys are the filtration organs and waste is separated from other useful materials in the kidneys and put into urine.
Waste products are transported to the kidneys primarily through the bloodstream. Blood containing metabolic waste, such as urea and creatinine, flows through the renal arteries into the kidneys. The kidneys filter this blood in their nephrons, where waste products are separated from essential substances, allowing for their excretion in urine. This process ensures that harmful substances are effectively removed from the body.
The process by which the kidneys produce urine is called nephron filtration. This involves several stages: filtration, reabsorption, and secretion. Blood is filtered in the nephrons, where waste products and excess substances are separated from essential nutrients and water. The resulting urine is then excreted from the body.
In toads, kidneys filter liquid waste from the blood through a process called ultrafiltration. Blood enters the kidneys, where it passes through specialized structures called nephrons. Within the nephrons, waste products are separated from essential components of the blood, allowing water, salts, and nitrogenous waste to be excreted as urine. This urine is then collected and stored in the bladder until it is expelled from the body.
The adrenal glands are located on top of the kidneys.
The shape of your kidneys resemble the shape of the kidney bean.
no they don't have kidneys
No, kidneys are organs.
Nope. It goes to the kidneys or intestines first.... It starts at the Left lung. Travels into the left atrium and then into the left ventricle. Then up into the aorta and then gets separated into the kidneys and intestines. From the inestines it enters the liver and ends up in the right atrium and then the right ventricle. From there it goes to the pulmonary artery and then into the right lung.
Drugs are separated from the bloodstream through metabolism by the liver and excretion by the kidneys. Metabolism involves breaking down the drug into smaller molecules that can be easily excreted from the body. The kidneys then filter these metabolites out of the bloodstream and into the urine for elimination.
