Blood Plumbing

a: Blood circulation ~
b: plumbing

What:

"Let us take a moment to discuss what the kidneys do. In several of my previous columns, I use the analogy that our blood circulation is like plumbing with the heart being the pump and the arteries and veins being the pipes. Well, the kidneys are the filter and the drain, which create urine as a way to expel waste products from the body."
