ABOUT THE KIDNEYS
 The kidneys filter blood, regulate electrolyte levels, eliminate waste products, control acid-base balance and produce hormones. The renal arteries divide into smaller and smaller branch ending in capillaries in the glomeruli (the kidney's primary filtering units).
Each kidney contains about one million glomeruli, which pass filtered blood through long tubules.
The glomeruli and the tubules make up the nephrons, the functioning units of the kidneys.
Urine travels from the kidneys down ureters and empties into the bladder.
The bladder serves as a temporary storage tank for urine.
The urethra carries urine from the bladder out through the genitals.
The efficiency of the kidneys diminishes with age.
Each hour, the kidneys filter two times the amount of blood the body contains. |
