How do kidneys clean the body?
A short, simple answer is that urine is a by product of bodily waste. Kidneys filter impurities. If the kidneys do not do their job in filtering, there is build up in the renal tubules (an area of the renal system leading to the kidneys) and also in the bloodstream. This causes trouble in the body systemically and, if left untreated, can lead to numerous medical problems. In short, the kidneys are the body's filters. Urine is the after product of our body's waste once the kidney's have filtered it. Urine leaves our bodies as a sterile fluid. Angie RN

Main role of deamination in nephron is?
deamination, the removal
of the amino group from an amino acid. This is often accomplished
by transamination. The amino group is transferred from
an amino acid to an -keto acid acceptor. The organic
acid resulting from deamination can be converted to pyruvate,
acetyl-CoA, or a TCA cycle intermediate and eventually oxidized
in the TCA cycle to release energy. It also can be used as a
source of carbon for the synthesis of cell constituents. Excess nitrogen
from deamination may be excreted as ammonium ion, thus
making the medium alkaline.

In both men and women, the urethra is the tube through which urine is excreted from the urinary bladder to outside the body. Urine flows from the bladder out of the body by way of the urethra when the sphincter muscle is relaxed. The urethral sphincter muscle is at the base of the bladder and controls the release of urine from the bladder into the urethra, which then flows out of the meatus (opening at the end of the urethra) when urinating.
The urethra is approximately 1 1/2 inches long in females and around 8 inches long in males. The urethral meatus is located at the tip of the penis in men and between the clitoris and vaginal opening in women.
In males the urethra also carries semen from the ejaculatory duct outwards through the penis. The semen is directed from the reproductive organs through the vas deferens tube for semen that intersects with the urethra at the prostate gland. A valve there at the base of the urethra directs the flow of either urine or semen through the urethra and out of the meatus.
