Transcript keep your excretory system healthy, you need to drink a lot of water

The excretory system is the system in your body that filters the
blood, takes the urine transports it to the bladder, and lets it out
of the body.
Urine helps balance the amount of salt and fluids, (mainly
waters) in your body.
The kidneys in your body act as a filter along the urinary path. It
filters the blood and then urine is transported through the ureter
into the bladder. After there has been enough build up of urine
in the bladder, the urine is pushed out of the body through the
urethra.
The Color of your urine changes
between the colour of straw and
a colour close to amber
depending on the amount you
eat/drink.
A kidney stone is made of calcium oxalate, that is
created in the inner lining of the kidney and it is
released out of the body in the stream of urine.
sometimes with the size of it in some occasions it
causes a lot of pain getting out. Also it can get
stuck in the urine stream, blocking the urine like a
dame it is usually made by people, not drinking the
recommended amount 8-10 glasses a day.
Urethritis
This disease causes inflammation in the urethra, that is
caused by bacteria, making an infection putting the
patient in a lot of pain. So they have to take a pain
medication to stop there swelling, pain. Urethritis is an
infection on the lining of the urethra it is the narrow
tube that carries urine out of the body. In men, the
urethra also carries semen. Urethritis usually starts
when bacteria from the anus are spread to the
urethra. The infection could affect the bladder
prostate.
keep your excretory system healthy, you need to drink a lot
of water. Water flushes your body system, removing toxic
molecules and carrying them out of the body. Also,
exercise is helpful; when you exercise, you sweat,
removing dead skin. Eat healthily; like all systems, the
excretory system needs vitamins.
Avoid toxins, which can be picked up from drugs, alcohol
and smoking.
NAME AND DESCRIBE TWO PROFESSIONS
THAT WORK WITH THIS SYSTEM.
Urology: Urologists provide medical and
surgical management for disorders of the
urinary track.
Nephrologists: Nephrologists provide medical
management to patients with kidney
disease.
Some organs included in the excretory
system are the kidneys, the bladder and
the ureter.
The kidneys the body fluids and salt levels.
This is called osmoregulation. They also
control the hydration levels for your body. If
you haven’t been drinking enough water,
the kidneys will reabsorb as much water as
possible. Less urine is produced, and you
lose less water.
The kidneys act like a filter: they remove all
the harmful molecules from your
bloodstream.
Your bladder fills up with the urine being
produced by your kidneys. When it
becomes full, your brain will tell you that
you need to remove it.
It is connected to the circulatory system;
all blood which circulates through the
body will pass through one of the kidneys.
The kidneys clean your blood by removing
harmful molecules and leaving the ones
which aren’t harmful.
It is also connected to the endocrine
system; kidney functions have to be
changed often to provide the best
environment for your cells. For example, if
you drink too much water, hormones are
released which allow for more urine
production. There is also an “adrenal
gland” on top of each kidney which
release adrenaline. These are connected
to the endocrine system.
The kidneys are made up of muscle tissue,
which is in turn made up of many muscle
cells. The kidneys, as well as many other
organs, make up the excretory system, one
of the many organ systems in a human.
