kidney
 Kidney ?
• Vital organ in the human body
• Location : either side of the spine, below the ribcage,
towards the back
• The right kidney is typically slightly lower than te left one
• Shape : a bean-shaped structure
• Size : 4 – 5 inches long , 2 – 3 inches wide, and
approximately 1 inch thick (adult human)  can vary
slightly among indiviuals

Filtration and Excretion Erythropoiesis regulation

 Overall. The kidneys are
essential for maintaning
homeostasis and ensuring the
proper functioning of the
body’s internal environment.
03 Role of The Kidneys in The Urinary System
In the urinary system, the • Secretion  certain
kidneys play a central role in substances are actively
the production & excretion secreted from bloodstream
of urine. Key function into urine
includes :
• Urine Formation 
• Filtration  filter blood filtrate becomes urine &
to remove waste waste products concentrate
products, escess ions, in the urine
water
• Storage & Excretion 
• Reabsorption  urine stored in the bladder
essential substance are until released
reabsorbed to maintain
proper balance

Anatomy
Explain the anatomy
of the kidney
The function of each part :
01
Renal Cortex  located in the outer
region of the kidneys. Function :
filtration of blood, reabsorption of
essential substances, secretion of waste
product, regulate water and electrolyte
balance in the body (with renal
medulla)
02
Renal Medulla  located deeper
within the kidney. Function : primaly
responsible for the concentration of
urine where urine is formed &
collected (in renal pyramids)
 03
Renal Papilla  the tip of a
renal pyramid. Function :
release urine into the minor
calyx , contributing to the
excretory function of urinary
system
04 05
Renal Pyramid  located Renal Columns  located
in renal medulla. Function : beetwen renal pyramids.
produce and transport urine Function : to provide
structural support to the
kidney and contain blood
vessels & urinary tubes. Also
to maintaining the integrity
and organization of the
kidney’s internal architecture
 Fibrous Capsule  serves as a
06 protective layer, encapsulating and
enclosing the kidney

Hilum  indented area on the concave

side. Function : as a gateaway for blood
07 vessels and the ureter

Renal Artery  function : carries

08 oxygenated blood from the heart to the
kidneys.

 13
Minor Calyx  a cup-like structure that
collects urine from individual renal
papillae. Function : to gather urine
produced by the kidney’s filtration
processes and direct it towards the major
calyx

Healthy
Kidney
Explain how to maintain kidney
health
We can maintain the health of our
kidneys by :

• Stay hidrated
• Balanced diet
• Manage blood pressure
• Limit alcohol
• Quit smooking
• Control blood sugar
• Regular exercise
• Limit NSAIDs
• Regular Checkup
