What is Kidney Function and Anatomy Explained about?
The kidneys are vital bean-shaped organs that filter blood to remove waste and excess water, producing urine. Their internal structure includes the renal cortex, renal medulla, renal pelvis, and nephrons, which perform the filtration process in three stages: glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption, and tubular secretion. Additionally, the kidneys regulate fluid balance, blood pressure, red blood cell production, acid-base balance, and activate Vitamin D.
