Summary Introduction

To describe:

The major structures of the human urinary system.

Introduction:

The urinary system of human is composed of paired kidneys and ureters, a urinary bladder, and a urethra. The main function of the urinary system is to produce urine and eliminate waste materials outside the body. Each human holds roughly one million microscopic nephrons in their kidney which are packed in the renal cortex. Nephrons constitute the structural and functional part of the kidney.

Summary Introduction

To draw:

The structure of the kidney and describe them.

Summary Introduction

To draw:

The structure of nephron and label it.

Introduction:

The nephron is the important microscopic part of the kidney which helps in filtering blood and producing urine. It is comprised of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule. Each human holds roughly one million microscopic nephrons in their kidney which are packed in the renal cortex. Nephrons constitute the structural and functional part of the kidney.
