List the organs of the urinary system and locate them in the view.
1 answer:
The organs of the urinary system include the kidneys, renal pelvis, ureters, bladder and urethra.
The function of the urinary system is to filter blood and thus produce urine as a waste by-product. The body absorbs nutrients from food and converts them into energy. After the body has gained the required food nutrients, certain waste by-products remain in the bowel as well as in the blood.
The urinary system assists the body in eliminating liquid waste called urea with the help of kidneys, and also maintains fluid balance i.e. water and mineral (like sodium, potassium) balance.
Urea is transported to the kidneys via the bloodstream. It is finally removed together with water and certain other wastes in the form of urine.

Answer:
sex-linked- recessive
Explanation:
Sex linked recessive are those traits which are expressed even if one copy of the defective allele are present. They are passed from parents to offspring through X or Y chromosomes.
These disorders are more prevalent in men than women because women have two X chromosomes while men have only one. Females can also get X-linked disorder but they are very rare because female needs two copies of defective gene to develop disorder while men need only one.
For example: As you can see in the example image the gene is passed in daughters too but mostly they are carriers but men develop disease because they have only defective X chromosome that contain defective gene and no counter part to lower its effects.
One of the common x linked disease is hemophilia. You can see the pedigree of Hemophilia that men are getting more effected than women.
Hope it help!
