State the functions of renal cavity, kidney, urinary bladder |
| Answer» Urinary Bladder : It is a sac-like structure that is lined with smooth muscle layer and is responsible for storage of urine till it is expelled from the body by micturition. Micturition is the act of expelling urine from the body. The bladder receives urine from the ureters, one from each kidney. The level of the urinary bladder placement in the body differs in men and women.Kidneys : Kidneys are the main organ of the human excretory system. The kidneys are paired organs in each individual. They are the primary excretory organ in humans and are located one on each side of the spine at the level of the liver. They are divided into three regions- the renal cortex which is the outer layer, the renal medulla which is the inner layer and the renal pelvis which is responsible for carrying the urine from the kidney to the ureter. The functional unit of a kidney is called the nephron.\xa0 | |
