Your cells produce waste, which if not removed can become quite toxic. These wastes flow into the bloodstream and are removed by the kidneys together with any excess water. Our kidneys work like a filtration system.

Your body has two kidneys, each about 10 cm long and shaped like a bean. One of the waste substances carried by the bloodstream is called urea. The blood travels to the kidneys on either side of the spine, toward the lower back. Each kidney has about 1 250 000 nephrons or filters that filter the blood. They remove wastes and excess water and salt. The waste travels along the small tubes in the kidney and finally into the ureter.

The ureter is a long tube that leads from the kidney to the bladder. Your bladder is a hollow muscular organ that collects the waste liquid called urine. Urine is a solution of wastes dissolved in water. When the bladder becomes full a muscle in the lower bladder relaxes and expels the urine.

Urine: Urine is a liquid waste produced by the kidneys that contains salts, urea, and other substances. The kidneys filter the blood and remove excess water, electrolytes, and waste products, which form the urine. Excretion: Excretion is the process of getting rid of metabolic waste and other substances from the body. It is carried out by the kidneys, intestines, lungs, and skin. Kidney: The kidney is an organ in the human body that is responsible for filtering out toxins and waste products from the blood and excreting them as urine. It is also involved in regulating the body's fluid and electrolyte balance.

The body can produce up to 4 gallons of urine every day. The kidneys filter out about 1 to 2 quarts of waste and extra water from the blood every day. Some species of fish have a built-in excretory organ called the 'kidney sac' which helps in removing waste from the body.
