They continuously clean and filter the blood up to 300 times a day, where:

•A large artery brings blood to each kidney.

1

•Tiny blood vessels branch off and pass through each nephron which
is a microscopic filter that filters the blood and removes harmful

2 substances from the body

• Removing urea which is formed due to the breakdown of

3 proteins inside the body cells.

• After the filtering is completed urea, other waste materials

4 and water become urine

• Urine leaves each kidney through a narrow tube called
ureter and collects in the bladder

5 • Urine is removed from the bladder through Urethra

Notes

1. Blood cells and proteins are too large to pass through the filter (nephron),
so they stay in the body.
