Asked by katiana3000

Answer (3)

The dialysis machine blends and screens the dialysate. Dialysate is the liquid that expels the undesirable waste items from your blood. It likewise gets your electrolytes and minerals to their appropriate levels in your body. The machine monitors the movement of the blood while it is outside of your body. So that means the correct answer is (2) excretory.

The kidneys of human body are main component of the excretory system and removes waste. When kidneys are not capable of funtioning normally, a dialysis machine is used for removing unwanted substances from the blood. It maintains the levels of required ion, minerals and electrolyets in the blood.

A dialysis machine operates like the human kidneys, filtering waste from blood. It uses a semi-permeable membrane to separate waste products from blood and returns clean blood to the body. The kidneys and dialysis both work to maintain the body's internal balance by removing harmful substances.
