    The kidneys filter waste from the blood and help regulate water levels in the body. They remove toxins and drugs and produce urine through a process involving glomerular filtration, reabsorption, and secretion. The kidneys also help control blood pressure by regulating sodium levels and activating the renin-angiotensin system. They are important for forming red blood cells and maintaining the body's pH balance. Failure of the kidneys requires dialysis and proper kidney care through hydration, diet, exercise, and avoiding smoking is important for kidney health.

    The URINARY SYSTEM
    STRUCTURE FUNCTION
    KIDNEY FILTERS THE BLOOD AND REMOVES WASTES
    LIKE UREA. ALSO REMOVES DRUGS LIKE
    ALCOHOL AND HELPS TO REGULATE THE
    AMOUNT OF WATER IN THE BODY

    RENAL VEIN COLLECTS BLOOD FROM THE KIDNEYS

    RENAL ARTERY SUPPLIES BLOOD TO THE KIDNEYS

    URETER CARRIES URINE FROM THE KIDNEYS TO THE


    BLADDER

    URINARY BLADDER COLLECTS AND STORES URINE PRODUCED BY


    THE KIDNEYS

    VENA CAVA RETURNS FILTERED BLOOD TO THE HEART FOR


    CIRCULATION AROUND THE BODY

    URETHRA CARRIES URINE FROM THE BLADDER TO THE


    OUTSIDE OF THE BODY

    AORTA MAIN ARTERY FROM THE HEART


    FUNCTIONS OF OUR KIDNEY
