HUMAN EXCETORY SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
HUMAN EXCRETORY SYSTEM
WORKS TO EXCRETE WASTE
PRODUCTS FROM OUR BODY.

WITH EXCRETORY SYSTEM WE

GET RID OF NITROGENOUS
WASTE INCLUDING
AMMONIA,UREA AND URIC
ACID.

KIDNEY FILTERS ABOUT

1700LITRES OF BLOOD DAILY IN
AVERAGE ADULT.
ORGANS OF EXCRETORY
SYSTEM
.
. ONE PAIR OF KIDNEY

ONE PAIR OF URETER

A URINARY BLADDER

A URETHRA
WHAT ARE KIDNEYS??
KIDNEYS ARE REDDISH
BROWN ,BEAN SHAPED
STRUCTURES SITUATED
BETWEEN THE LEVELS
OF LAST THORACIC AND
THIRD LUMBAR
VERTEBRA CLOSE TO
THE DORSAL INNER
WALL OF THE
ABDOMINAL CAVITY..
EACH KIDNEY OF AN ADULT HUMAN
MEASURES 10-12 cm IN LENGTH ,5-7 CM
IN WIDTH AND 2-3 CM IN THICKNESS
WITH AN AVERAGE WEIGHT OF 120-170 g.

EACH KIDNEY HAS NEARLY 1

MILLION COMPLEX TUBULAR
STRUCTURES CALLED NEPHRONS ,
WHICH ARE THE FUNCTIONAL AND
STRUCTURAL UNIT OF KIDNEY.
WHAT ARE URETERS??
 THE URETER IS A TUBE
THAT CARRIES WASTE
FROM KIDNEY TO THE
URINARY BLADDER .
THERE ARE 2 URETERS
, ONE ATTACHED TO EACH
KIDNEYS .
THE URETER IS ABOUT
10-12 INCHES LONG IN
THE AVERAGE ADULT.
WHAT IS AN URINARY
BLADDER??
THE URINARY BLADDER
IS A HOLLOW MUSCULAR
ORGAN IN HUMANS AND
OTHER VERTEBRATES
THAT STORES URINE FROM
KIDNEY BEFORE DISPOSAL
BY URINATION..
IT WILL HOLD BETWEEN
300-500 ML BEFORE THE
URGE TO EMPTY OCCURS ,
BUT CAN HOLD
CONSIDERABLY MORE.
WHAT IS AN URETHRA???
THE URETHRA IS A HOLLOW TUBE POSITIONED BETWEEN
THE URINARY BLADDER AND URINARY MEATUS WHICH TAKES
URINE STORED IN THE BLADDER OUT OF THE BODY .

IT’S LENTH DIFFERS IN HUMAN FEMALES AND MALES ..

IN MALES , IT ALLOWS THE EXPLOSION OF BOTH URINE

AND SEMEN ..

IN FEMALES , IT ALLOWS THE TRANSPORTATION OF URINE

OUT OF THE BODY , PREVENTION OF URINE REFLUX , AND
PROTECTION AGAINST PATHOGENIC BACTERIA…
LET’S
MOVE
ON TO
THE
HEART
HUMAN HEART
 WHAT IS A HEART ???
THE HUMAN HEART IS AN
PUMPING ORGAN THAT
PUMPS BLOOD
THROUGHOUT THE BODY
VIA THE CIRCULATORY
SYSTEM , SUPPLYING
OXYGEN AND NUTRIENTS
TO THE TISSUES AND
REMOVING CARBON
DIOXIDE AND OTHER
WASTES.
IT USUALLY BEATS
WHAT IS A STETHOSCOPE ????
A
STETHOSCOPE
IS AN MEDICAL
INSTRUMENT
USED TO
MEASURE
HEART RATE..
WHAT IS AN
ELECTOCARDIOGRAM??
ELECTROCARDIOGRA
M IS THE INSTRUMENT
USED TO MEASURE
ELECTRICAL ACTIVITY
IN THE HEART AND
IT’S RECORDING AS A
VIRTUAL TRACE ,
USING ELECTRODES
PLACED ON THE SKIN
OF THE LIMBS AND
CHEST..
