The Human Body: The Body’s Filter Systems – the Kidneys and Liver

One of the most important features of the body is that it eliminates things it doesn’t need, can’t use or that can harm the body. The body has its own filter systems for this, consisting mainly of the kidneys and liver. In this film, we learn about the important work they do. We go through terms like renal capsule, nephron and dialysis. How is blood filtered? And why do we need to urinate? That’s what we’re going to look into in this film.
