N Hi, I'm Neal and this is the nightly news. C Hi, I'm Charlie Johns Tonight we are reporting on the Excretory system. C The job of all the organs in the Excretory is to remove harmful wastes from the human body N the organs in the extratory system include the kidney, liver, lungs, sweat glands, and bladder. C Now we are going into the kidney. The kidney filters blood throughout the body. C it also does an essential part of the human body, it regulates the amount water in the body N hmm that is very interesting C The kidneys are located on both sides of your spinel cord. C they keep a persons blood pressure in check C They even help to make red blood cells! C When your body is about to pass waste products,the waste products goes through the kidneys and mixes with water and urine. Then, the waste travels into the bladder through tubes in the form we know as urine or commonly known as pee. N Thank you Charlie, Now we are going into the liver, madeline What's happening down there. M Hi Neal, The liver's main functions are to break down things that need to be excreted, converts hemoglobin molecules from old red blood cells into bile, filters harmal thing out of the body like alcohol, and maintains proper glucose level in blood. It is on the left side of your body. The liver is the largest glandular organ in the body,it weighs 3 pounds, It has 4 lobes, blood is carried to liver by 2 large vessels called the hepatic artery- carries oxygen rich blood from a major vessel of the heart. and the portal vein-carries blood with digested food to the small intestines. Well thats the liver and now back to Neal who is reporting on the sweet glans and the bladder. N  Thank you Madeline.  The Sweat glands don't have as big a function as the kidney or liver, but it is important. The glands remove most of the water and salt in our body. in our skin, we have over one million sweat glands. Now the lungs have a part in removing water too. In the cold weather, thats the reason you can see your breath. Of course you know the lungs remove carbon dioxide. Now to the bladder. The bladder holds the urine until it I full. the max capacity of the bladder is 620 mL.If it gets to that max capacity you must empty it by using the bathroom. Back to you. C This is Charlie, Madeline and Neal signing off the nightly News. See you next week, same time, same place.
