The Kidneys: The Most Effective and Efficient Waste Management and Recycling System In The Whole World

Once the blood has been cleansed the kidneys will then perform a remarkable task; from the blood were taken sodium, potassium, phosphates, ammonia, chloride and electrolytes. The kidneys will then proceed to put back into the blood just the right amount of the elements and electrolytes that they took out, and all the excess will be turned into urine; urine is produced in the kidneys.

When the kidneys have completed the cleansing process of the blood and turned all the waste that they took from the blood into urine it will then send the urine down to the bladder via the ureter tubes. The ureter tubes are two tubes that connects to the kidneys; one tube per kidney and is connected to the bladder at the opposite end. The ureter tubes role in the male urinary system is to transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder where it will be stored until it is instructed by the brain to remove its content or urine.

Male Bladder Problems: Practicing Good Bladder Health Just Makes Good Sense

The male bladder sits just above the prostate gland in front of the rectum on the pelvic floor. It is part of the male urinary system and plays a key role in the storage of urine. Urine is produced in the kidneys; the kidneys cleanse the blood of waste, excess water and other impurities and turn it into urine. The urine is sent to the bladder for storage via two ureter tubes that connects each kidney to the bladder.

The bladder will act as a holding tank for the urine; once the bladder is full it will signal the brain through a nerve that it is at capacity; the brain in return will send a nerve signal back to the bladder–the detrusor muscle in particular to empty itself of all content or urine.

The detrusor muscle will squeeze spastically to remove all of its content, and the urine will flow from the bladder through the urethra that extends through the male sexual organ and out the body. This is ordinarily a smooth operation that works efficiently and effectively throughout a man’s lifetime.

However, the male urinary system is always under the threat of bacterial attacks that seek to gain entrance through the lower urinary tract (LUT) or any other way it can. Urinary tract infections can wreck havoc on the male urinary system. Bacteria can form colonies that when left unchecked can literally destroy the urinary system and ultimately could prove fatal. Bacterium like Escherichia coli or e coli is responsible for over 80% of all bacterial infections found in the male urinary tract. In most cases Escherichia coli or e coli can be treated with antibiotics if caught in time; however, if the bacterium is left untreated for a substantial amount of time it could do irreversible damage to individual organs as well as the entire urinary system. Timely treatments play a very important role in eliminating Escherichia coli or e coli before it does wide spread damage.

The kidneys along with the ureter tubes make up the upper tract of the male urinary system. It is quite common for bacteria infections to gain entrance through the urethra and attack the prostate as well as the urethra and travel up to the bladder. The bladder is also capable of becoming infected by the urine that is sent down by the kidneys through the ureter tubes. The waste that the kidneys turn into urine is often contaminated with bacteria; this bacteria in turn is sent to the bladder via the ureter tubes. The bladder can become a holding station for not only urine but bacteria as well.
