Level#1
We read about four ways that you can help to keep your excretory system healthy. Here are two ways to do this. Drink at least six cups of water daily to wash out wastes and germs. Keep your kidneys healthy by not drinking alcohol it makes your body loose too much water!
1. How many ways can you keep your excretory system healthy?
2. How many cups of water should you drink a day?
3. What should you not do to keep your kidneys healthy?
Level#2
We read about four ways that you can keep your excretory system healthy. Here are three ways to do this. Drink at least six cups of water daily to wash out wastes and bacteria. If you think you have a bladder infection, see a doctor. To keep your kidneys healthy, stay away from alcohol and caffeine. These drugs can lead to dehydration.
1. How many cups of water should you drink a day and why?
2. What should you do if you think you might have a bladder infection?
3. What should you stay away from to keep your kidneys healthy and why?

If you think you have a bladder infection, see a doctor. To keep your kidneys healthy, stay away from alcohol and caffeine. These drugs can lead to dehydration. Alcohol causes the kidneys to send more than the usual amount of water out of the body. This water loss leads to dehydration, the drying out of your body cells. Too much alcohol can do permanent damage to the kidneys.
1. How many cups of water should you drink a day and why?
2. What should you do if you think you might have a bladder infection?
3. What does alcohol do to the kidneys, what does it cause, and what can too much alcohol do?

*To improve your MATH SKILLS spend at least 20 minutes practicing them using IXL.COM. (REMEMBER TO ENTER YOUR USER NAME AND PASSWORD WHEN LOGGING ON! THAT WILL BE PROOF THAT YOU DID IT!)
Level#1
Kidney failure means that one or both kidneys have shut down. People are able to live normally with only one kidney. But, if both kidneys do not work, a person will die if they do not get medical treatment.
1. What is it called when one or both kidneys have shut down?
2. Are people able to live normally if they only have one kidney?
3. What happens to a person if both of their kidneys do not work?
Level#2
Kidney failure means that one or both kidneys have shut down. People are able to live normally with only one kidney. But, if both kidneys do not work, a person will die if they do not get medical treatment. A dialysis machine can be used to treat a person with failed kidneys. The patient's blood is drawn through a tube into a dialysis machine. Waste products and extra fluid in the blood are filtered by the machine. Then, clean blood flows back into the body.
1. Explain what kidney failure is, and what happens to a person in kidney failure that does not get medical treatment.
2. What is a dialysis machine used for and what does it do?

A permanent treatment for kidney failure is a kidney transplant. However, there are never enough "donor" kidneys available.
1. When a person's kidneys shut down what is this called?
2. What would happen to a person if both of their kidneys failed?
3. What does a dialysis machine do for a person with kidney failure?
4. What is the potential problem with getting a kidney transplant?

Most of the time, your bladder is free of germs. If germs go into the bladder you can get an infection. This is called a bladder infection.
1. How is your bladder most of the time?
2. What can cause you to get a bladder infection?
3. If germs get into your bladder what is it called?
Level#2
Normally, your bladder is free of bacteria and germs. However, when bacteria gets into the bladder, you get a bladder infection. This is called cystitis. When this happens, there can be a burning sensation every time you urinate. Most of the time, it is necessary to see a doctor when you have cystitis.
1. What is normally not in your bladder?
2. What causes a bladder infection to happen?
3. How can a person tell if they think they have cystitis?
4. Who should you go to for help if you think you have cystitis?

When this happens, there can be a burning sensation every time you urinate. Most of the time, it is necessary to see a doctor when you have cystitis. The doctor may give you antibiotics to clear up the condition. If untreated, bladder infections can spread to your kidneys and cause serious kidney disorders.

Level#1
Nephrons are small tubes that remove extra water, salt, and other waste materials from the blood. Each nephron has a cup-like structure at one end. Inside of this structure, blood flows through the many coiled capillaries where the wastes are removed.
1. What are nephrons?
2. Where is the cup-like structure of the nephron found?
3. What is removed in the many coiled capillaries of cup-like structure of the nephron?
Level#2
Nephrons are small tubes that remove extra water, salt, and other waste materials from the blood. Each nephron has a cup-like structure at one end. Inside of this structure, blood flows through the many coiled capillaries where the wastes are removed. The filtered materials pass into a cup-like structure. Then, nutrients pass from a tubule back into the blood. Extra water, salts, and waste molecules combine to form urine.

Then, nutrients pass from a tubule back into the blood. Extra water, salts, and waste molecules combine to form urine. Urine is concentrated in a thin, looped tube. The filtered blood is then returned to the heart in veins. The urine then empties into the last part of the nephron called the collecting duct. Urine flows through ureters to the bladder. It is stored there until it is released through the urethra.
