Kidney and adrenal gland. Illustration of a semi-transparent view of a kidney,showing the ureter (lower left),the renal pelvis (centre left,green),the calyxes (blue),the renal cortex (red),and the adrenal gland (orange,top centre). The kidneys filter waste products such as urea from the blood,excreting it as urine to the bladder. The adrenal gland produces adrenaline (epinephrine),along with other hormones. Adrenaline is best-known for being produced as part of the flight-or-fight response. | |
