What does URINE mean in Scrabble?
noun
The liquid waste produced by the kidneys and released from the body, made mostly of water together with dissolved salts and other waste products.
Urine forms as the kidneys filter blood, removing excess water, salts and nitrogen waste such as urea before sending the mixture to the bladder for storage. Doctors regularly test urine because its color, smell and chemical content can reveal a great deal about hydration, infection and how well the kidneys and liver are working. Across history, urine has also served practical purposes far beyond biology, from tanning leather to producing early dyes and cleaning agents.
