Red blood cells are thus much more common than the other blood particles: there are about 4,000â11,000 white blood cells and about 150,000â400,000 platelets in each microliter of human blood. Human red blood cells take on average 20 seconds to complete one cycle of circulation.
Â­Â­Your kidneys receive the blood from the renal artery, process it, return the processed blood to the body through the renal vein andÂ­ remove the wastes and other unwanted substances in the urine. Urine flows from the kidneys through the ureters to the bladder. In the bladder, the urine is stored until it is excreted from the body through the urethra. Now let's take a look inside your kidneys.
The kidneys remove urea from the blood through tiny filtering units called nephrons. What are the major organs of the urinary system? Their function is to remove liquid waste from the blood in the form of urine; keep a stable balance of salts and other substances in the blood; and produce erythropoietin, a hormone that aids the formation of red blood cells. The kidneys remove urea from the blood through tiny filtering units called nephrons. How does the kidney form urine? Blood from the heart comes into your kidneys from the renal arteries where it enters about 2-3 million nephrons per kidney.
