Homestasis
- Kidney
  - Filters blood
    - Removes Urea, Water, Ions and glucose
      - Reabsorbs Water, Sugar, Ions and all glucose
- Blood sugar levels
  - Pancreas (gland) detects changes in sugar levels
    - Getting too low
      - Glucogen is released
        Breaks glycogen bonds making it glucose
    - Getting too high
      - Insulin is released
        Bonds glucose into glycogen
        Glycogen is stored in liver
Urine (Water, Urea and Ions) stored in bladder
- Reabsorbs Water, Sugar, Ions and all glucose
Dialysis
- Kidney
  - Filters blood
    - Removes Urea, Water, Ions and glucose
When both kidneys are damaged
- Transplant
- Dialysis
- A new kidney is put in from a donor who suffered a fatal accident
  - Drugs are taken to prevent rejection
A new kidney is put in from a donor who suffered a fatal accident
- Drugs are taken to prevent rejection
Hot
- Vesodialtation
  - Body is cooled down
