KidneysBy Tion and Callum

Introduction The Kidneys have range of functions.

The main job of the kidneys is to filter the blood. It cleans out the waste produced by the chemical reactions that occurs when cells break down the nutrients. This waste needs somewhere to go so they go to the kidneys. The waste goes through the renal artery and gets filtered by the nephrons.

Why we need our Kidneys About 50 gallons

of blood pass through the kidney every day and the kidneys job is to filter and clean it. Without your kidneys, your blood will be almost certainly be poisoned, and you would die.

Interesting Facts The kidneys have a higher blood flow

than the heart, liver or brain. The kidneys are about three times

larger in proportion to body weight than adults.

Kidneys are about four and a half inches.

You need at least one kidney to stay alive.

26 million Americans have Chronic Kidney disease.

How our kidneys work The kidneys first

receive blood from arteries inside the heart. The kidney filters the blood using the nephrons. The waste passes through the ureter and stored in the bladder as urine. The filtered blood returns to the body and begins another circulation around the body.
