Another name for the excretory system
Urinary System
Smallest unit of the kidney
Nephron
Urinary system works with two other systems to regulate water balance in the body
Endocrine and Circulatory
Filtered blood leaves the Bowman's Capsule and into:

Is human blood neutral on the PH scale?
No. According to Google, Human blood is slightly basic (alkaline), with a normal pH range of 7.35 to 7.45. While neutral on the pH scale is 7.0, this slightly alkaline level is crucial for physiological functions, including oxygen delivery and enzyme activity. The main thing is not to let the blood become too acidic.
unfiltered blood enters through this and into the kidney

Medulla
This contains rugae
Bladder
