Kidney anatomy, artwork C016 / 8663
Kidney anatomy, artwork. The kidneys filter waste from the blood and excrete it as urine. The kidney consists of an outer cortex and an inner medulla. The medulla is divided into regions called the renal pyramids. Each renal pyramid drains into a renal papilla (yellow). The renal papillae merge to form the ureter (yellow, bottom), which carries the urine to the bladder. Blood is carried to the kidney by the renal artery and away from it by the renal vein

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Kidney Anatomy" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate workings of our excretory system. Against a striking black background, this artwork showcases the complexity and beauty of the kidneys. The kidneys play a vital role in maintaining our body's equilibrium by filtering waste from the blood and eliminating it as urine. This print highlights their structure, consisting of an outer cortex and inner medulla. The medulla is further divided into renal pyramids, visible as distinct regions within the kidney. Drawing attention to the yellow-colored renal papillae, which are found at the tip of each renal pyramid, we witness how they merge together to form the ureter - depicted here as a vibrant yellow line leading towards the bladder. It is through this pathway that urine travels before being expelled from our bodies. The image also emphasizes two crucial components: blood vessels and veins responsible for transporting blood to and away from these remarkable organs. The renal artery carries oxygenated blood to nourish the kidney while nitrogenous waste-laden blood exits through the renal vein. Overall, this awe-inspiring illustration not only serves as an educational tool but also reminds us of nature's extraordinary design within our own bodies. Russell Kightley's artistic representation beautifully captures both scientific accuracy and aesthetic appeal in showcasing one of our most essential organs –the kidney
