Computer graphic of kidneys (waterdrop background)
Kidneys. Computer graphic illustration of two human kidneys, seen on a waterdrop background to depict the role of kidneys as fluid filtration units. The kidneys (brown, at centre) are located between the two main blood vessels of the body: the aorta artery (brown) and posterior vena cava vein (blue). Renal arteries and veins branch off these blood vessels to supply blood to, and drain blood away from the kidneys. The kidneys filter the blood of impurities and excrete waste products and excess water as urine. About 140 litres of fluid pass into the kidneys of an adult each day. Excreted fluid passes down the ureters (yellow) into the bladder

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer graphic representation of the intricate human kidneys against a mesmerizing waterdrop background. The brown-colored kidneys take center stage, positioned between two vital blood vessels: the aorta artery and posterior vena cava vein. Renal arteries and veins elegantly branch off these main blood vessels, ensuring a constant supply of blood to nourish the kidneys while efficiently draining away waste. The significance of the kidneys as fluid filtration units is beautifully depicted through this artwork. These remarkable organs play an indispensable role in purifying our bloodstream by filtering out impurities and eliminating waste products and excess water as urine. Astonishingly, an astounding 140 liters of fluid pass into the adult kidneys each day, emphasizing their crucial function in maintaining bodily homeostasis. As we delve deeper into this image's intricacies, we notice how excreted fluid travels down vibrant yellow ureters before ultimately reaching its destination - the bladder. This comprehensive portrayal not only highlights key anatomical structures such as renal arteries and veins but also provides valuable insights into the urinary system's functionality. Science Photo Library has skillfully captured this awe-inspiring artwork that combines scientific accuracy with artistic finesse. Through this visual masterpiece, viewers are invited to appreciate both the complexity and elegance of our internal systems while gaining a newfound admiration for these incredible organs – our hardworking guardians of purity within us.
