The excretory system is a passive biological system that removes excess, unnecessary materials from the body fluids of an organism, so as to help maintain internal chemical homeostasis and prevent damage to the body.
Life of every organism depends on certain basic processes. Excretion is one among them. Different organisms follow different modes of excretion. In complex organisms including humans, there is a specialized system for excretion called human excretory system.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

3. Functions:
It eliminates nonsolid wastes from the body
It regulates body fluids
It filters the blood supply to remove salts and other
body wastes
It controls rate of RBC formation
It regulates blood pressure
It regulates absorption of calcium
The Excretory System
5. Lungs – exhale carbon dioxide and water vapor
Skin – Sweat glands in skin release excess water and
salts
Liver – removes hazardous chemicals from the blood.
(Detoxification of blood)
Some proteins and other nitrogenous
compounds are broken down in the
liver forming a compound called urea
Major Organs
6. KIDNEYS
The two kidneys are located near the spine in
the middle of the back.
They are protected by lower ribs and covered
by layers of fat.
The kidneys are fist-sized, bean-shaped
structures
It is possible to function with only one kidney.
Major Parts:
7. KIDNEYS
At any given time, 20 % of blood is in the
kidneys.
The body’s entire volume of blood is filtered
every 45 minutes.
If one ceases to work, the other increases in size
to handle the workload.
Without the kidneys, it would not take long
before the body’s system would be poisoned by
its own waste.
Major Parts:
8. Two Layers:
Cortex (Outer Region)
Medulla (Inner region)
Nephron – filtering units
They clean and rebalance the blood to
produce urine.
There are approximately 1 million nephrons
in each kidney
Renal Artery
Renal Vein
Parts of the Kidney
9. Functions
It filters blood in order to remove cellular waste
products from the body.
It helps to maintain homeostasis by filtering the
blood.
It helps to maintain electrolyte, pH, and fluid
balances
10. URINE
Waste drains out of the kidneys in the form of urine.
Urine is about 95% water and 5% urea (protein from
protein breakdown).
Fresh urine has no bacteria in it. It is quite clean
(probably cleaner than our hands).
Waste Products
12. Urea – a nitrogenous waste produced in the
liver from the breakdown of protein. It is the
main component of urine
Uric acid – usually produced from breakdown
of DNA or RNA
Creatinine – waste product of muscle action.
Waste Products
16. Parts of the Kidney
The principal
function of the
loop of Henle is
the recovery of
water and
sodium
chloride from
the urine.
This is how the
body’s water is
conserved and
how
Homeostasis is
maintained
18. Ureters – are tubes that carry urine from the pelvis
of the kidneys to the urinary bladder.
Urinary Bladder – temporarily stores urine until it
is released from the body.
Urethra – is the tube that carries urine from the
urinary bladder to the outside of the body.
The outer end of the urethra is controlled by a
circular muscle called a sphincter.
Other Parts of the Urinary System
19. Digestive System
When you eat, the food you eat gets
processed by your digestive system. The solid
waste come out the anus, while the excretory
system processes the liquid waste and releases it.
Circulatory System
The excretory system pays close attention to
the circulatory system to maintain liquid levels
balanced, and keep all liquids in the body free of
toxics.
Excretory System in Relation with other Systems
20. Nervous System
It also works with the nervous system
because when the bladder is filled with urine, it
sends the nervous system a message that it is time
to go the bathroom.
Endocrine System
The Endocrine system has adrenal glands
that have chemical substances that allow the
kidney to control body fluid levels in the body
Excretory System in Relation with other Systems
21. Musculoskeletal System
It protects the organs in order for these to
function well. They work in concert with the
urinary system to regulate the release of urine.
The bladder is a muscle that can expand and
contract as necessary to accommodate or expel
urine.
Excretory System in Relation with other Systems
22. Kidney
Stones
Definition: These are smaller sized deposits of calcium and can be seen in the
nephrons. The stones could also increase or go down to urinary tract causing extreme
pain. The stone may also get infected causing further set of complications
Causes: The main cause is change/increase in salt and mineral levels and that of other
substances in urine. This may later on cause coagulation and increase size of stones.
The other reason can be heredity.
Symptoms:
•Vomiting or nausea
•Painful urination
•Frequent urination
•Fever or chills
•Bloody or smelly urine
•Sharp pain of the back or the side
Treatments: Reduced size of stones tends to pass out of body without requiring any
surgery. The treatment may consist of just taking lot of fluids so that the stones are
washed down. In such cases, the fluid is collected for 24 hours continuously and
examined in laboratory for presence of small stones. Painkillers may also be used for
alleviation of pains for the patient.
23. Cystitis Definition: The inflammation of the bladder is known as cystitis. The bladder is the
storage place for the urine until it is discharged by voluntary action of body. The urge to
urinate is not an automatic action and hence bladder always has some quantity of urine.
The bladder is the place where bacteria can grow easily leading to inflammation of
bladder.
Causes: It may be due to reaction of some of medicines, bacterial infection, using catheter
for long time in case of some diseases, undetected underlying diseases, and a result of
radiation therapy.
Symptoms:
•Pain or difficulty when urinating
•Foul-smelling urine
•Pain or soreness of abdomen
•Cloudy urine
•Blood in urine
Treatments: Cystitis is normally treated with antibiotics for bacteria. The removal of
contributing causes can also form part of treatment.
