Kidneys and ureters, artwork C013 / 4672
Kidneys and ureters. Computer artwork showing an oblique 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). 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 the intricate and vital organs of the urinary system - the kidneys and ureters. Presented in stunning computer artwork, this image offers an oblique anterior view of these essential organs in relation to the skeleton and abdominal organs. The kidneys, located in the upper abdomen, play a crucial role in our overall health by filtering waste products like urea from the blood to form urine. The urine then travels through the downward-running tubes called ureters, unseen here but significant for transporting urine to the bladder. Adorning each kidney is an adrenal gland depicted in vibrant orange hues. These glands are responsible for producing adrenaline, among other hormones that contribute to our flight-or-fight response when faced with challenging situations. With its emphasis on biology and anatomy, this artwork provides a comprehensive understanding of normal organ structure within the abdominal cavity. It highlights not only the kidneys' excretory function but also their association with hormone production. Overall, this visually striking representation serves as a valuable resource for professionals specializing in nephrology, endocrinology, urology or anyone seeking insight into human physiology. Its detailed depiction invites us to marvel at nature's design while deepening our appreciation for these remarkable internal structures that sustain life.
