A professor gave the following analogy of kidney function to his freshman biology class: "Imagine your desk is a disorganized mess, containing things worth keeping and things you should throw out. Instead of picking through each item one by one and considering if it is to keep or throw out, you sweep your arm across your desktop in one smooth motion, knocking the entire contents of the desk into your large trash can. Then you pull the items you want to keep out of the trash can and place them back on your desk." In what ways is this analogy accurate? In what ways is it inaccurate? Some students in his class argue that the kidneys are inefficient and poorly designed. How should the professor respond? What modern medical device may he cite in his response?
