Kidneys and adrenal glands
Kidneys. Computer artwork of the human renal system. The kidneys (brown/red, left and right) filter waste products and water from blood that passes through the organs in the renal arteries (red) and veins (blue). The filtrate (urine) is passed down the ureters (beige) to the urinary bladder (not seen), where it is stored. On the top of each kidney is an adrenal gland (yellow). These glands produce steroid hormones, adrenaline and noradrenaline that function in controlling heart rate and blood pressure

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of our renal system. In this computer artwork, we are presented with a detailed visualization of the kidneys and adrenal glands. The kidneys, depicted in shades of brown and red, play a vital role in filtering waste products and water from our blood. They diligently process the blood that flows through them via the renal arteries (highlighted in red) and veins (shown in blue). As a result, urine is formed and transported down the ureters (beige tubes) to be stored in the urinary bladder. Perched gracefully on top of each kidney are vibrant yellow adrenal glands. These remarkable glands produce essential steroid hormones such as adrenaline and noradrenaline. Their crucial function lies in regulating heart rate and blood pressure, ensuring our bodies maintain optimal physiological balance. The image not only highlights the anatomical structure but also emphasizes its physiological significance within our body's complex systems. It serves as a reminder of how interconnected every organ is for maintaining overall health. This stunning illustration provides an invaluable resource for those studying human biology or working within medical fields like urology or endocrinology. Science Photo Library has once again captured both scientific accuracy and aesthetic appeal with their exceptional graphic representation of these organs' vasculature, making it an excellent addition to any educational setting or medical facility where knowledge meets artistry.
