If the excretory system did not remove the waste in your body, all the wasteful substances would pile up and make you sick!]]> 2017-03-30 16:46:23 UTC https://padlet.com/epeters22/7atxyxb0682n/wish/163766879 Major Organs of the Excretory System and Their Functions epeters22 https://padlet.com/epeters22/7atxyxb0682n/wish/163768168 Kidney: The kidney filters most of the blood in your body. The kidneys helps maintain water balance by filtering out excess water along with waste.
Urinary bladder: The urinary bladder is  an organ that holds urine before it is released. 
Urethra: A small tube that urine flows through. 
Ureters: Narrow tubes that urine flows through after your kidneys. They carry the urine to the urinary bladder.

This disease occurs when bacteria gets into the urethra. Girls are more likely to get it than boys because of the location of their urethra.]]> 2017-03-31 16:42:50 UTC https://padlet.com/epeters22/7atxyxb0682n/wish/164019684 The Filtering Process epeters22 https://padlet.com/epeters22/7atxyxb0682n/wish/164021962 The unfiltered blood flows through arteries until it reaches a group of capillaries (blood vessels) in a nephron. In the group, urea, excess water, glucose, ect., get filtered out and get moved to a capsule outside of the group. The needed materials that accidentally got removed get reabsorbed. The materials that stay in the tube get turned into urea and eventually get urinated out of the body. ]]> 2017-03-31 16:51:06 UTC https://padlet.com/epeters22/7atxyxb0682n/wish/164021962 Parts of The Excretory System fbinsack1 https://padlet.com/epeters22/7atxyxb0682n/wish/164022820 Kidney

Urine: A liquid substance produced by your kidneys.
Ureters: Narrow tubes that urine flow through from your kidneys. They carry the urine to the urinary bladder.
Urinary bladder: An organ that holds urine before it is released.
