Kidneys and ureters, artwork C013 / 4671
Kidneys and ureters. Computer artwork showing an anterior view of the kidneys, the main organs of the urinary system, relative to the skeleton and abdominal organs (white). The kidneys are located in the upper abdomen. The function of the kidneys is to filter waste products such as urea from the blood to form urine. The urine drains to the bladder (not seen) through the ureters (tubes running downwards). The urine leaves the bladder through the urethra. On top of each kidney is an adrenal gland (orange). This gland produces adrenaline, along other hormones. Adrenaline is produced as part of the flight-or-fight response

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer artwork titled "Kidneys and Ureters, Artwork C013/4671" created by Springer Medizin/Science Photo Library. The image presents an anterior view of the kidneys, which are vital organs of the urinary system, in relation to the skeleton and abdominal organs depicted in white. Located in the upper abdomen, these remarkable organs play a crucial role in maintaining our overall health. Their primary function is to filter waste products like urea from the blood, resulting in urine formation. This urine then travels through the downward-running tubes called ureters towards the bladder (not visible), eventually exiting through the urethra. Intriguingly, perched on top of each kidney lies an adrenal gland portrayed in orange. These glands produce various hormones including adrenaline as part of our body's fight-or-flight response mechanism. Adrenaline aids us during stressful situations and heightens our senses. The intricate details captured within this artwork highlight not only the anatomy but also shed light on important aspects such as renal health, excretory systems, endocrine functions, urology, nephrology and more. It serves as a visual reminder of how interconnected our internal organs are and their significant roles within our bodies. This visually stunning piece invites viewers into a world where science meets artistry while providing valuable insights into human biology that can be appreciated by both medical professionals and enthusiasts alike.
