** EXCRETORY (URINARY) SYSTEM **
The major function of the excretory (urine) system is to remove things from your blood and urine for metabolic process. __Kidney__- filters the blood to remove wastes- above the waist behind the stomach __Ureter__- tube connecting the kidney to the urinary bladder __Urinary__  - bladder-is a solid, collects urine __Urethra__- connects the urinary bladder to outside the body __Liver __ - the largest glandular organ of the body *The liver has many functions. Some of the functions are: to produce substances that break down fats, convert glucose to glycogen, produce urea, make certain amino acids   , filter harmful substances from the blood, storage of vitamins and minerals and maintain a proper level of glucose in the blood. The liver is also responsible for producing cholesterol. It produces about 80% of the cholesterol   in your body. The picture below shows where the kidney, ureter, urinary bladder, and urethra are located. All of the words in bold are the ones to actually look at closely.



Describe HOW the kidney filters clood and produces urine? Kidneys pass blood through them and waste such as urine come out.

As blood enters the nephron, it is under high pressure and immediately flows into a bed of capillaries called the glomerulus. Because of the pressure, water, glucose, vitamins, amino acids, protein waste products, salts, and ions from the blood pass out of the capillaries into a part of the nephron called Bowman's Capsule. Blood cells and most proteins are too large to pass through the walla of a capillary, so these components stay within the blood vessels. media type="youtube" key="AdlfxBooqIA" height="344" width="425"
 * The liquid that remains in the tublues--composed of waste molecules and excess water and ions--is urine. You produce about 2 Liters of urine a day. This waste fluid flows out of the kidneys, through the ureter, and into the urinary bladder, where it may be stored. Urine passes from the urinary bladder out of the body through a tube called the Urethra.

 * Maybe it hit Robin in his kidney, and his lung. I think this because if he is coughing blood then it is in his lungs and if he is peeing blood then it hit the kidneys which leads to the bladder(where you pee). Also i think some blood might have got out and your body can't produce blood so that is why he is pooping it out too!. This is how i think it could relate to his injury. emily reh======

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">*I think the arrow may have went through Robin and hit his lungs and kidney. I think the lung because it said he was coughing up blood, in order to cough up blood then blood had to enter the lungs through a puncture wound. Also i think one of his kidneys were hit becuase it filters blood and produces urine, so if one of his kidneys were hit it could cause blood to get into the urine and travel down into the urinary bladder causing him to pee blood. --Jon soto ======
