Q

Explain the cycle of the excertary system

A

The renal artery carries the blood containing waste to the kidney. The kidney filters the waste outs of blood. The waste (salts, water+ urine) passes through the ureter to the bladder. The urine is released from the blatter through the urethra. The filter/clean blood is transported back to the heart through the renal vein
