How Can You Maintain a Healthy Excretory System?

A urologist, is a person that works with the urethra, bladder and kidneys. A urologist can be found in almost any hospital. A kidney surgeon, is a person who works on and removes the kidneys (if needed). One of the most common diseases treated by a kidney surgeon is kidney cancer. Like a urologist, a kidney surgeon can be found in almost any hospital. What Are Two Professions That Work With the Excretory System?

Did you know that you produce about one and a half liters of fluid per day? Did you know that the average person urinates about 3000 times a year? Did you know that the adult bladder can hold 16 to 24 ounces of urine? Did you know that one human kidney measures to about 4 inches? Did you know that the average person poops about 305 pounds a year? Fun Facts

What is the role that the excretory system plays in the human body? The excretory system is very important to the human body. It is the part that removes the liquid and solid wastes out of your body. Without it you would become sick. The excretory system also controls hydration and salt levels in the body. It does this through the main organ called the kidney.

How do these organ work together? The waste passes four organs. It passes the most important part of the excretory system the kidneys. Then, the waste passes the ureters then the bladder. Once the urine passes through your urethra, it’s out of your body.

What are the major organs that make up the excretory system? The excretory system is made up four organs. It is made up of the ureters, bladder, and urethra, kidneys. The excretory is a very small system. It may be small but is a very important system.

Explain how your system is connected to two other body systems. The excretory system is connected to the endocrine system and the circulatory system. Circulatory system- Blood that passes through the body soon passes through the kidneys. The kidneys will remove the urea, uric acid, and water from the blood. The water is then put back into other systems.

The endocrine system is connected to the excretory system Endocrine system- This system is tied to the kidneys. The adrenal gland is positioned above the kidneys. These glands produce a hormone called adrenaline. When you drink to much water a hormone is produced to tell your body to urinate more. When u are dehydrated another hormone is released to tell your body to urinate less.

Organization Cell – Tubular epithelial cells Tissue- Epithelial tissue Organs- Kidneys Organ System- Excretory system The kidneys are made up of 2 different types of tissue and epithelial tissue is one. The epithelial tissue is made up of epithelial cells. This level of organization are found in the nephrons of the kidney.

Kidney stones is a disease in the excretory system Kidney stones are hard “rocks” of crystals that were separated from the urine. The appears when there is unbalanced amount of water, salts and minerals. When you don’t drink enough water it can cause a kidney stone to form. Symptoms: Extreme pain, cramping in the back and/or lower stomach area, nausea and vomiting. Cures: There really isn’t many cures for kidney stones rather than drinking enough fluids and taking pain medicine. Doctors will at times prescribe medication to help your body pass the kidney stone. Treatments: Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (the use of sound waves to break up a larger kidney stone), Ureteroscopy ( a thin tube with camera attached to locate kidney stone and break the stone), and Percurtaneous nephrolithotomy ( to remove a kidney stone with an endoscope that was made through an incision in the kidney).

Pyelonephritis is another disease in the excretory system This is an infection that will travel from the bladder or urethra to the kidneys. This happens when bacteria enters in through the urinary path. Symptoms: fever, pain in groin, abdominal pain, frequent urination, urge to urinate constantly, burning during urination and/or blood in the urine. Cures: An antibiotic can be prescribed to the patient with the kidney infection. With uncomplicated kidney infections it is better to take the oral antibiotics and drink lots of water and other fluids.
