COLOR: Blood is typically red, but can appear darker or brighter
depending on the oxygen content.
VISCOSITY: Blood is thicker than water due to the presence of
cells & proteins.
PH: Blood has a slightly alkaline pH, typically between 7.35 and 7.45. An average-sized man has about

Urine
Group 7

MODULE 12

CHEMICAL COMPOSITION:
WATER (95–97%) The major component of urine, responsible for dissolving and carrying waste products out of the body.
UREA (~2%) A nitrogen-containing compound resulting from protein metabolism.
ELECTROLYTES (~1–2%) Sodium (Na⁺), potassium (K⁺), chloride (Cl⁻), calcium (Ca²⁺), and magnesium (Mg²⁺).
CREATININE A waste product of muscle metabolism.
URIC ACID A byproduct of purine metabolism, contributing to nitrogen waste.

PIGMENTS Give urine its characteristic yellow color.

Urine pH reflects dietary habits and metabolic processes.
Acidic urine is common with protein-heavy diets, while
alkaline urine is typical with vegetarian diets.
