Urinary system, artwork C013 / 4673
Urinary system. 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 (bottom) 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 the intricate beauty of the urinary system, specifically focusing on the kidneys - the vital organs responsible for waste filtration. Presented in a computer artwork format, an anterior view reveals their positioning within the upper abdomen, relative to both the skeleton and abdominal organs. The kidneys play a crucial role in maintaining our overall health by filtering waste products like urea from our blood to form urine. This essential fluid then travels through slender tubes called ureters, draining into the bladder located at the bottom of this visual composition. The final stage of this excretory process occurs as urine exits through the urethra. Adding to their significance, each kidney is accompanied by an adrenal gland perched atop it. These orange-hued glands are not only responsible for producing adrenaline but also other hormones that contribute to various bodily functions including our fight-or-flight response. With its comprehensive portrayal of internal anatomy and physiology, this artwork offers valuable insights into nephrology (the study of kidneys), urology (urinary system disorders), endocrinology (hormonal regulation), and more. It serves as a reminder of how these interconnected systems work harmoniously within our bodies to maintain normal function and ensure optimal health.
