The color/quantity of your urine is really determined by a lot of factors. The most obvious of these is the amount of liquids that you drink. For example, if you drink 2L of water a day, you're going to have a high volume of relatively clear urine. If you drink nothing for 2 days, you're going to have a small volume of almost brown urine.
The kidneys' main jobs are: 1) to regulate electrolyte, amino-base balance, and blood pressure 2) excretion of waste 3) hormone production. We're going to focus on #2.
The kidneys are going to produce waste, called "urea", which is the result of jobs 1 and 3. Urea is yellow in color and the body produces a fairly consistent rate of it. But, depending on how much fluids you drink (more specifically, depending on the amount of water in the fluids you drink), the color may be clearer or darker and the volume might be higher or lower. The general rule is, "the darker the urine, the more dehydrated you are." If your urine is dark yellow, it means that your urea is very concentrated when leaving the body. Take it as a sign to drink more water. If, on the other hand, your urine is completely clear and you've got more than enough to spare, it means that you're over-hydrated. Both extremes are bad. Dehydration can lead to all sorts of complications - your body needs water - so drink up. Over-hydration can also lead to all sorts of complications like electrolyte imbalances - so lay off for a while.
Brown urine is another extreme. Generally, brown urine is a sign of kidney failure and your should see your doctor immediately.
So to answer your original question, your kidneys have very little to do with volume and color. How much and how often you drink causes color and volume variations in urine.
What else can I help you with?
Does the bladder store the urine produced in the kidneys?
Yes, the urinary bladder stores urine produced in the kidneys.
Urine is produced in the?
Kidneys.
Where urine produced?
the kidneys.
The hormone that signals that kidneys to make less urine is?
ADH is the hormone regulate the volume of urine. It is produced by the hypothalamus. It secreted by anterior pituitary.
What happend to the volume of urine as the solute concentration in the interstitial space was increased?
As the solute concentration in the interstitial space increases, the volume of urine produced by the kidneys typically decreases. This is because the higher solute concentration triggers the release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which increases water reabsorption in the kidneys, leading to a decrease in urine volume.
In which organ is urine produced?
Urine is produced in the kidneys. The kidneys filter waste products and excess substances from the blood to create urine, which is then transported to the bladder for storage and eventual elimination from the body.
What happened to the urine volume as the concentration gradient increased?
As the concentration gradient increases, the urine volume typically decreases. This is because a higher concentration gradient drives more water reabsorption in the kidneys, resulting in a lower urine volume being produced.
Urea is produced by the and excreted by the?
Urea is produced by the liver and is excreted by the kidneys as a part of urine.
Where does urine production occur?
urine is produced when you drink alot of water and your bladder pees out a clear yellowish color. =D
Where does urine originate?
It is produced in the kidneys and then is stored in your bladder.
What is produced when the kidneys mix waste with water?
When your kineys mix waste with water it forms urine.
What liquid is made in the kidneys?
Urine is the liquid produced in the kidneys. It is a waste product that contains water, salts, and other substances filtered out from the blood by the kidneys.
