Single-kidney anatomy. Artwork showing an oblique right-frontal view of human kidneys in relation to the main torso blood vessels (vena cava,blue; aorta,red) and the bones of the human skeleton (ribs and backbone). One kidney (brown,upper left) has a normal appearance. The other (blue) represents a missing or diseased kidney. The function of the kidneys is to filter waste products such as urea from the blood to form urine. The urine drains to the bladder through the ureters (tubes running downwards). Humans have two kidneys,but can function with only one. The iliac arteries and veins of the groin are partially seen at bottom | |
