    Excretory System of Bony Fishes

    Uploaded by

    german guaza
    The excretory system of bony fishes consists of two elongated kidneys that filter waste from the blood and break down nitrates and ammonia into urea using energy. The kidneys are connected to a small urinary bladder and urogenital papilla by two short mesonephric ducts. Freshwater fish produce large volumes of urine and reabsorb salts in the distal tubules, while marine fish lack distal tubules, have smaller glomeruli, and can adjust their urine output.

    EXCRETORY SYSTEM

    OF BONY FISHES
    The excretory
    system of fish
    consists of
    two elongated
    kidney, small
    urinary
    bladder,
    urogenital
    papilla, and
    two short
    mesonephric
    duct.
    KIDNEYS
    - Kidneys filter waste from the blood

    - Through usage of energy, fish are able


    to break down the nitrates and
    ammonia to a more usable source of
    urea.
    Freshwater bony fishes
     Large volume of urine, salts are
    reabsorbed in the distal tubules

    Marine bony fishes


     Lack distal tubule, smaller
    glomerulus, can adjust amount of
    urine
