       The two kidneys create waste liquid, urine. Inside each kidney are one million microscopic filters called nephrons. Each has a tiny bunch of blood capillaries, which pass water and many substances into
a long, looped tube. In the tube some of the water and substances are filtered back the body, leaving the unwanted water and waste, as urine. This flows from the kidney down a tube, the urethra, to the bladder.

       Buoys are floating objects of various types, anchored in the sea. Some buoys have a bell, which, with the movement of the waves, tolls a danger signal when there is a sea mist.

       Then, there is a luminous buoy, which lights up to signal danger at night and a mooring buoy, with
a chain on which a ship can anchor.

       And in the case of an accident, a ship can disconnect a buoy’s radio, which it sends out a continuous alarm call.
