Artwork of a section through the human kidney
Kidney. Artwork of a section through part of a human kidney. Coloured pink is the medulla. Contained within the medulla are the functional units of the kidney, the nephrons. A close-up of one nephron is at upper right. It consists of a glomerulus of capillaries (red, looped) contained within a Bowmans capsule (rounded) with a tubule below. Filtration by the glomerulus and selective reabsorption and secretion in the tubule forms urine. Urine is received by the renal pelvis (yellow) which will join the ureter (not shown). At bottom left corner are the renal vein (blue) and the renal artery (red).

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases a detailed section through the human kidney, providing a fascinating glimpse into its intricate anatomy. The vibrant pink color highlights the medulla, which houses the vital functional units of the kidney called nephrons. At the upper right corner, we are treated to a close-up view of one nephron - an astonishingly complex structure responsible for urine formation. The glomerulus, depicted in red and looped shape, is a network of capillaries enclosed within Bowman's capsule (rounded structure) with a tubule below it. This arrangement facilitates filtration by the glomerulus and subsequent selective reabsorption and secretion in the tubule to produce urine. Noticeably contrasting against the pink backdrop is the yellow renal pelvis that receives urine before it joins with the ureter (not shown). In addition, at the bottom left corner of this print lies both renal vein (blue) and renal artery (red), essential components ensuring proper blood supply to these remarkable organs. This awe-inspiring artwork not only captures our attention but also serves as an educational tool for understanding various aspects of kidney function and its role within our urinary system. Created by Science Photo Library, this print beautifully combines artistry with scientific accuracy to celebrate one of nature's most incredible creations – our kidneys.
