Urea is a solid, colorless, odorless compound used as a raw material in the chemical industry, especially in fertilizer production.
It is also produced in the liver in people and animals as a breakdown product of nitrogen-containing compounds (primarily amino acids, the building blocks which make up proteins). It is removed from the body in the urine, and to a small degree, in sweat.
Urine is a mixture of water, electrolytes (like sodium, potassium, chloride) and waste products (like urea) that are removed from the body by the kidneys, passed down through the ureters to the bladder, then through the urethra to the outside of the body (micturition or urination).
What else can I help you with?
Is blood urea and blood urea nitrogen same?
What is the difference between urea and BUN
Why is there urea in cows?
Urea is a byproduct of urine. All animals produce urea in their urine, not just cows.
Why is the concentration of urea strong in urine?
The concentration of urea is high in urine because urea is a waste product produced by the liver when it breaks down proteins. The kidneys then filter urea from the blood and excrete it in urine to maintain the body's nitrogen balance.
What is the difference between hematuria and uremia?
Hematuria is the presence of blood in the urine, and uremia is a toxic condition of excess urea (nitrogenous waste) in the bloodstream. Hematuria is a symptomatic condition of the urine, and uremia is an abnormal condition of the blood
What chemical is made from ammonia that excreted in the urine?
Urea is the chemical made from ammonia that is excreted in the urine. Our body converts ammonia, a waste product of protein metabolism, into urea in the liver. Urea is then filtered by the kidneys and excreted in the urine.
What is Urea in the blood?
Urea is one of the substances in urine, and urine is in your blood stream until the kidney extract the urine from your blood.
If human urine is 1.8 percent urea how many grams of urea are present in 50 ml of urine?
To calculate the grams of urea in 50 ml of urine where 1.8% is urea, first convert the ml to grams using the density of urine (about 1 g/ml). Then, multiply the volume of urine in grams by the percentage of urea (0.018) to find the grams of urea present in 50 ml of urine.
What toxins are in urine?
Urea in urine is toxic.
What liquids carry the urea that is excreted?
Urea is predominantly carried in urine, which is produced by the kidneys and excreted through the urinary system. In the bloodstream, urea is carried in the form of urea nitrogen and is filtered by the kidneys to be excreted in urine.
What is the formula to calculate urine urea nitrogen?
(amino acid (grams)/ 6.25)-(UUNg (urine urea nitrogen) +4g)
What are the differences between urea and urine in terms of their composition and functions in the body?
Urea is a waste product produced in the liver from the breakdown of proteins, while urine is a liquid waste excreted by the kidneys that contains urea, water, salts, and other waste products. Urea helps remove nitrogen from the body, while urine helps regulate the body's water and electrolyte balance.
What produces a chemical called urea which end up in urine?
The kidneys remove urea from the blood and excrete it in urine. Urea is a waste product formed from the breakdown of proteins in the liver.
