Chapter 48.5, Problem 7LO
Summary Introduction
To describe and label: The organs of the mammalian urinary system and give the functions of each.
Concept introduction: The kidney is an important organ of the excretory system. As blood passes through the kidneys, it filters the nitrogenous waste to form urine. Urine is the liquid waste product filtered by kidneys, stored in the bladder, and excreted from the body.
