Question

Explain different disorders of the excretory system

Answer 1

The various types of excretory system disorders are
1. Kidney failure - is also termed as renal failure.
It is characterized by the cessation of functioning of one or both kidneys. The kidneys are responsible for filtering the urine by a process called as glomerular filtration.
In kidney failure, one or both kidneys are unable to carry out this filtration.

2. Kidney stones - is also called renal calculi.
These are formed by the accumulation of calcium or uric acid crystals within the kidneys. They separate out of the urine and remain within the kidneys.

​​​​​​3. Urinary tract infection - are bacterial infections of any part of the urinary tract. When bacteria get into the bladder or kidney and produce more bacteria in the urine, they cause a UTI.
The most common type of UTI is a bladder infection.
