Kidneys

Well, The Liver Is Apart Of the Digestive System. So What That Means That Is Works With The Gallbladder, Spleen, And Pancreas ( As Far As I Know)

The average size of an adult human's kidneys are about 11cm long and about 6cm wide.

Kidney failure results in death in a few days, usually less than a week, unless the person receives a kidney transplant or is put on a dialysis machine.

The Appendix is located in the Right Lower Abdominopelvic Quadrant

Kidney is an organ of our body. The Kidney is an important Excretory organ in the body which helps in separating waste matter from the blood stream and purifies blood by helping in passing of urine.

You have two of them, and they are able to take over from one another. So if one kidney is so severely damaged or deseased that it even has to be removed, the other kidney will simply take over. If both kidneys are so severely damaged or deseased that they stop functioning you can live on, but you will have to undergo kidney dialysis in hospital several times a week for the rest of your life or until you get a kidney transplant.

Minor damage or desease in your kidneys usually responds well to medical treatment.

It is the sodium in salt that is the problem. Your body removes unwanted fluid by filtering your blood through your kidney. This requires a balance of sodium and potassium to pull the water across the wall from the bloodstream into a collecting channel in the kidney. A high salt diet will alter this sodium balance. This causes the kidneys to have reduced function and so less water is removed and this results in higher blood pressure. High blood pressure is not good for you generally but it is especially not good for people with kidney disease.

The distal convoluted tubule or the collecting tube.

I am looking for the same answer too.... so I am not sure if I am right...

My book says that simple squamous epithelium is used at the filtration membrane of the kidney i guess that they are implying the glomerular capsule but I am not sure.

However it does make sense as simple squamous allows for rapid diffusion of material.

You can possibly die because your body can not flush out all the waste and urine.

Alternate answer:

If a kidney transplant fails the patient does have other options but action should probably be taken as quickly as possible. The failure of a kidney transplant means that the patient will either have to have another transplant or they will have to go back on dialysis until something else can be done. People can live normally with only one kidney.

Your kidneys are located just above the small and large intestine. If you feel your lower back, they are just above the buttocks and they filter the blood of any toxins or unwanted substances.

This is called a urinary tract infection. This condition can cause irritation of the lining of the bladder, urethra, ureters, and kidneys.

No. They're unrelated body systems.

I don't believe so, I think then your waste has to be emptied out of your side into a bag. I am not too sure.

If you have no kidneys you won't have to worry about it because you'll be dead.

Kidney of a male what? The kidney of a shrew is small the kidney of an elephant is big. We can only answer questions for you if take the time and trouble to make sure they are clear and precise.

Kidneys are two small red bean shaped organs, each located on either side of abdomen towards the back and above the waist. The size of normal adult kidney is 10 to 13.5 cm (4 to 5 inches) long, 5 to 7.5 cm (2 to 3 inches) wide and 3 cm (1.18 inches) thick.

To clean the blood. The kidneys have filters called nephrons that filter the blood.

filter out the things that your body doesnt need and turns the rest over to the bladder to be used for waste.

The kidneys (a pair) are the filtering devices of blood. The kidneys remove waste products from metabolism such as urea, uric acid, and creatinine by producing and secreting urine.

Nephroureterectomy is surgical removal of the kidney and its ureter.

Liver is specialized excretory organ in vertebrates. Red blood cells that have reached their normal life span (in humans ca. 100 days) are sequestered from circulation and broken down; the porphyrin of the hemoglobin molecule is transformed by the liver to compounds known as bile pigments. These are excreted in the bile, discharged into the intestine, and finally eliminated with the feces. Thus, in addition to its many other functions, the liver is an excretory organ specialized for porphyrin excretion.

And moreover, urea is produced in the liver by ornithine- urea cycle. With this process liver helps in osmoregulation.
