1) There are different organs system in the human body to bring about the different life processes , such as the digestive system for digestion of food , respiratory system for digestion of food , respiratory system for respiration , etc .
2) The process of digestion leading to energy production is an important process of our body .
3) Various waste materials are formed during this process .
4) Removal of these waste from the body is very important and it is the excretory system that carries out this function .
5) The human excretory system consists of a pair of kidneys , a pair of ureters , the urinary bladder and the urethra .
6) Urine is formed by the kidneys by separating the waste and unwanted excess substances from the blood .
7) The two bean-shaped kidneys are situated one on either side of the vertebral column , on the posterior side of abdomen .
8) The functional unit of the kidneys that performs the basic function of filtration is called a nephron .
9) The network of capillaries in it is called a glomerulus .
10) The urea produced in the liver comes into the blood .
11) When the urea containing blood comes into the glomerulus , it is filtered through its capillaries and urea and other similar substances are separated from it .
12) Water molecules and the small molecules of other some molecules can cross the semipermeable membrane of the Bowman's Capsule .
13) The solution accumulated in the cavity of Bowman's Capsule passes into the tubular part of the nephron .
14) Here , molecules of the water and some other useful substances are reabsorbed into the blood .
15) Urine is formed from the remaining solution which is full of waste materials .
16) The urine is carried by the ureters and stored in the urinary bladder .
17) Afterwards , urine is given out through the urethra .
18) Hence , we are able to control urine .
