Solution

Dear student,

The kidneys filter unwanted substances from the blood and produce urine. This is temporarily stored in the bladder. ctthe urine body emits out the waste. Urinary system has major role in the regulation of blood volume, blood pressure, pH etc. urinary retension is a medical emergency which may lead to severe chest pain, anxiety, high blood pressure, bladder damage, bladder stones and kidney failure.

Tubular reabsorption is the process by which the nephron moves water and solutes out of the tubular fluid and returns them to the circulating blood.This glomerular filtrate contains plasma and interstitial fluid which is important for our circulatory system. Reabsorption of sodium, nutrients,water and other ions are also very significant to our body. Otherwise it will lead to the loss of the essential nutrients and water in large amount from our body.

Regards.
