XIBIOU16_The_Excretory_System__Unpacking_the_Body_s_Filtration_Powerhouse_and_Waste_Management_Marve

In this episode, we unpack the excretory system, the body’s remarkable filtration and waste management network, crucial for maintaining homeostasis. We’ll start with the human excretory system, focusing on the structure and function of the kidneys, nephrons, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra. We’ll then explore urine formation step by step — glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption, secretion, and the role of counter-current mechanisms. The importance of hormones like ADH, aldosterone, and ANF in regulating water and electrolyte balance will also be explained clearly. Next, we’ll discuss disorders of the excretory system, such as kidney stones, uremia, and dialysis, alongside NEET-relevant comparisons like ammonotelism, ureotelism, and uricotelism in animals.

 With simple explanations, memory aids, and exam strategies, this session makes the excretory system easy to master and equips you to ace NEET questions on physiology and homeostasis.
