Computer artwork of a human kidney & adrenal gland

Kidney & adrenal gland. Artwork of a human kidney (red) with an adrenal gland (orange, upper right) and a ureter (orange, lower right). A persons two kidneys filter blood to remove excess water, salts & waste products. These are excreted as urine and pass along the ureter to the bladder. The kidneys regulate the balance between the bloods fluid and salts, and its acidity level. The kidneys regulate blood pressure by secreting the enzyme renin. The adrenal glands inner portion (medulla) secretes the hormone adrenalin (epinephrine) in times of times of stress to prepare it for physical exert- ion. The outer portion (cortex) produces about 30 steroid hormones that regulate metabolism

Adrenal Adrenal Gland Endocrine Gland Kidney Kidneys Ureter Urinary System


EDITORS COMMENTS
This computer artwork showcases the intricate details of a human kidney and adrenal gland. The vibrant red color of the kidney contrasts beautifully with the orange hue of the adrenal gland, which is located in the upper right corner. A ureter, also depicted in orange, can be seen in the lower right portion of this print. The kidneys play a vital role in our bodies by filtering blood to remove excess water, salts, and waste products. These substances are then excreted as urine and travel along the ureter to reach the bladder. Moreover, these remarkable organs regulate fluid balance, salt levels, and acidity within our bloodstream. They even contribute to controlling blood pressure through their secretion of renin. Adjacent to the kidney lies an equally important organ - the adrenal gland. Its inner part called medulla secretes adrenaline (epinephrine) during times of stress or physical exertion. This hormone prepares our body for action when we need it most. On top of that, its outer section known as cortex produces approximately 30 steroid hormones that help regulate metabolism. This stunning artwork not only highlights anatomical structures but also emphasizes their crucial functions within our urinary system and endocrine system respectively. It serves as a reminder of how intricately designed our bodies are and how they work tirelessly to maintain equilibrium for optimal health and well-being.
