Greetings Card : Nephron structure, artwork
Cards from Science Photo Library
Nephron structure, artwork
Nephron structure. Artwork showing the structure of a nephron, the functional filtering unit of a kidney. The function of the kidney is to filter waste products such as urea from the blood. The blood arrives in an arterial blood vessel (red) and leaves in a venous blood vessel (blue). The filtration occurs in the renal corpuscle (upper left) where a glomerulus (red capillary bundle) is encased in a Bowmans capsule (light brown). Waste products drain through the convoluted proximal tubules, the loop of Henle (bottom, where water is reabsorbed), and into a collection tube (right). Each human kidney contains around one million nephrons

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the intricate structure of a nephron, the fundamental filtering unit within our kidneys. The nephron plays a vital role in maintaining our body's balance by filtering waste products like urea from the blood. In this visually stunning print, we witness the journey of blood through the renal corpuscle, located in the upper left corner. Encased within Bowman's capsule, represented by a light brown shade, is a vibrant red capillary bundle known as the glomerulus. As filtration takes place, waste products travel through convoluted proximal tubules and descend into the loop of Henle at the bottom of this illustration. It is here that water reabsorption occurs before these substances flow into a collection tube on the right side. The arterial blood vessel depicted in striking red brings oxygenated blood to nourish this remarkable organ while venous vessels carry filtered blood away from it in calming blue hues. Astonishingly, each human kidney houses approximately one million nephrons responsible for this essential cleansing process. Through this artistic representation blending biology and anatomy seamlessly with arrows guiding us along its path, we gain insight into how our urinary system functions and contributes to overall excretion processes within our bodies. This print serves as an educational tool reminding us of both the complexity and beauty found within our biological systems.
