Removes water and waste from blood to bladder?
The kidneys remove water and waste from blood, turning them into urine. The urine is then sent to the bladder for storage before excretion.
An expandable organ that stores urine is?
The urinary bladder is an expandable organ that stores urine in the body before it is excreted. When the bladder fills with urine, nerve signals are sent to the brain, triggering the urge to urinate. The ability of the bladder to stretch allows it to hold varying amounts of urine depending on the body's needs.
What is the term for liquid waste sent out of the body when the bladder contracts?
Urine is the scientific term for liquid waste expelled by contraction of the urinary bladder.
What happen to the blood in the kidney?
Waste and excess water is filtered out and sent to the bladder as urine.
How does the bladder connect to the brain?
The bladder and brain are connected through the nervous system. Signals from the bladder are sent to the brain via sensory nerves, informing the brain when the bladder is full or empty. The brain then sends signals back to the bladder to control the release of urine.
Is a kidney or bladder infection contagious?
Kidney/Bladder both internal organs and NOT contagious. The patients urine etc is not toxic to affect others as these discharge is sent to toilets
Where does urine go after the nephron?
Urine continues from the nephron to the renal tubules, collecting ducts, renal pelvis, ureter, bladder, and finally exits the body through the urethra.
A signal that the bladder is full is sent to the central nervous system by?
Stretch receptors in the bladder wall send signals to the central nervous system when the bladder is full. These receptors detect the stretching of the bladder as it fills up with urine, triggering the sensation of needing to urinate.
How is urine produced in the human male?
Urine is produced the same way in both males and females. It is a filtrate of the blood. The kidneys filter waste out of the blood, this waste is then sent to the bladder, and this waste is urine. From the bladder it moves through the urethra and is then voided. A man's urethra is considerably longer than a woman's, and a man's urethra terminates at the head of the penis.
What organ filters blood and sends urine to the bladder?
The kidney filters blood to remove waste products and excess water, producing urine in the process. The urine is then sent to the bladder for storage before being eliminated from the body through urination.
How does the bladder work?
Well the bladder of course is a reservoir, it's a storage vehicle for urine. Its primary function is to keep the urine in a place that is water tight without letting the urea and the waste products be reabsorbed into the body until the individual can find time to empty the bladder. A whole sequence of events occurs when the bladder has filled and a signal is sent to the brain that there's been filling. Basically, the urethra has a sphincter muscle within it; one in women, and two in men--the second one being within the prostrate gland. So the first step is that the brain has signalled that the bladder's full, and the urethra, or urethras, will then relax, and allow opening of the channel, then the bladder will contract, thus expelling urine from the body.
How much water can a kidney hold?
Kidneys do not hold water. Your kidneys are designed to filter your blood and remove impurities. The resulting product of the filtering process is called urine. The urine is then sent to the bladder via the ureters where it is held until you get the urge to void (pee). The amount a bladder can hold varies depending on the person and the size of the bladder. Generally, no more than about 1000cc ( the amount of a 32oz big gulp). Holding your urine, whether on purpose or due to a medial condition beyond this amount is unhealthy, and can back up into the kidneys causing a medical condition called hydronephrosis and/or nephritis ( over-distention of the kidneys, kidney infection).
