Biology - Structure of the Kidneys - (Kidneys Part 2/3) #28

The video tutorial explores the anatomy and functions of the urinary system, focusing on the kidneys. It explains the kidneys' roles in waste removal, ion regulation, and water balance. Blood flows through the kidneys, where urine is produced and stored in the bladder. The video delves into kidney anatomy, highlighting the nephron's structure and function. It describes the filtration process, where small substances are filtered from the blood into the Bowman's capsule. The tutorial also covers selective reabsorption, where useful substances are reabsorbed into the blood. Finally, it names and describes the parts of the nephron, including the proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule, and collecting duct.
