The breaking down of nutrients creates urea and excess salts while the remaining water is disposed of by the kidneys. They are in charge of balancing acids and bases and removing excess ions, toxins, medications, and urea from blood, among other things. Nephrons found in these organs filter the blood to create urine, since proteins and blood cells cannot pass through the walls of capillaries. It is then carried to the bladder by the ureter. Finally, another tube coming from the bladder (the urethra) delivers the urine outside of the
