What does the bladder do Do do you need it?

What is kidney used for?

Kidneys are the urine producing organs of vertebrates. In humans the symmetrical bean shaped kidneys are situated in the upper rear part of our abdominal wall, one each side of the vertebrae column.

The main function of the kidneys are to regulate blood and electrolytes and to eliminate waste products - excreting waste products and excess water in the form of urine. There are two kidneys each about 10 to 12.5 centimeters long and about 170 grams or 4.6 ounces in weight.

The most important waste products dealt with are those generated by the breakdown of proteins. The kidneys also control our body's acid base balance. When blood and body fluids become too acid or too alkaline, the urine acidity is altered to restore the balance. When we ingest excess water, our kidneys excretes it. When water is lost as a result of sweating or diarrhoea, the kidneys conserve it.

Each kidney consists of approximately 1 million nephrons and supporting tissues. Medical problems affecting the kidneys include glomerulonephritis, kidney failure, pyelonephritis, urinary stones and uremia.

How long does it take for a person to pee on their own after being diagnosed with partial complex seizures and being hospitalized for almost two weeks using a catheter?

I was in the hospital a couple years ago and had a catheter for alittle over 2 weeks. I could pee almost right away. The thing I had trouble with was once your done peeing, it will keep dripping. Ha, I would stay in the bathroom for 10 min just waiting for it to stop dripping. That ended up going away after about a month.

The key thing about catheters is that the longer there in, the harder it is to get back into the flow of things.

Also, once a catheter is taken out, there is a chance that you could get a UTI (urinary track infection).

Good luck, the catheter should be the least of your worries :)

The urethra in bulls is where the semen is ejaculated through and deposited into the cow's vagina. The urethra in cows is nothing more than an exit way for urine to be let out of.

The urethra is important in all male mammals, by the way.
