Answer:

Kidney

Explanation:

The kidney is in the medial part of the body, located inferior to the lungs and posterior to the intestines.

The kidney is the most important excretory organs of vertebrate, which receives blood from the dorsal aorta through the right and left renal arteries and sends out blood through the right and left renal veins. The transverse section of the kidney shows an outer cortex, beneath which is the Medulla and beneath the Medulla, the hollow pelvis of the kidney.

The cortex and the Medulla consist of thousands of nephrons, which are the kidney's structural and functional units. Each nephron consists of a Bowman's capsule, also called renal corpuscle or malpighian corpuscle, with its network of blood capillaries called glomerulus within it. The remaining part of a nephron is a tubule consisting of three distinct portions, i.e., the proximal convoluted tubule, the U-shaped loop of Henle, and a distal convoluted tubule.

The tubule then leads into the pelvis of the kidney via the collecting tubules. The cortex contains only the renal corpuscle and the convoluted tubules, while the Medulla contains the loop of Henle and the collecting ducts. Ultrafiltration of the blood occurs in the Bowman's capsules, and glucose, amino acids, and large amounts of inorganic ions are reabsorbed at the proximal convoluted end from the glomerular filtrate. The sodium salt is actively transported out of the fluid as it passes through the loop of Henle, and finally, water is reabsorbed from the fluid at the distal convoluted tubule and the collecting ducts.

From here, the filtrate passes through the pelvis into the urinary bladder via the ureter. When the bladder becomes full, the urethral sphincter guarding the outlet relaxes so that urine flows out through the urethra.

Urine contains urea, water, and sodium chloride in addition to other compounds. In the presence of antidiuretic hormone, dilute urine is produced. Kidney stones are solid particles formed in the kidneys, which can block kidney tubules.

What are glaciers? A glacier is a huge mass of ice that moves slowly over land.
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

What do they look like?

Glaciers look like solid blocks of ice.

What climate do they exist in?

Regions that have high snowfall in winter and cool temperatures in summer.

Where can you find them?

Most of the world's glacial ice is found in Antarctica and Greenland, but glaciers are found on nearly every continent, even Africa.

What do you think we can learn from glaciers?

Glaciers preserve bits of atmosphere from thousands of years ago in these tiny air bubbles, or, deeper within the core, trapped within the ice itself. This is one way scientists know that there have been several Ice Ages. Scientists are also finding that glaciers reveal clues about global warming.

(The last question is unclear to me, so I'm going to take a guess as to what you meant)

Why is sea ice so important?

Arctic sea ice keeps the polar regions cool and helps moderate global climate.

I hope this helps!! :3
