AB  - FIGURE  6.1Anatomy  of  the  urinary  tract  and  kidney.  A)  The  organs  of  the  urinary  system  include  the  kidneys,  ureters,  bladder,  and  urethra.  The  function  of  the  urinary  system  is  to  filter  the  blood  and  create  urine  as  a  waste  by-product.  B)  The  kidney  has  an  outer  region  called  the  renal  cortex  and  an  inner  region  called  the  medulla.  The  renal  columns  are  connective  tissue  extensions  that  radiate  from  the  cortex  to  the  medulla  and  separate  the  renal  pyramids  and  papillae.  The  papillae  are  bundles  of  collecting  ducts  that  carry  urine  made  by  the  nephron  to  the  calyces  for  excretion.  The  renal  hilum  is  the  entry  and  exit  site  for  the  blood  vessels,  nerves,  lymphatics,  and  ureters.Graphic  Jump  LocationView  Full  Size||Download  Slide  (.ppt)
