Gross structure of kidney. Gross Anatomy The urinary system of the human body consists of two kidneys two ureters the bladder and a single urethra. The kidneys are located on the posterior wall of the abdomen at waist level. Each kidney is roughly 10 cm long and 5 cm wide and is encased in a fibrous outer capsule called the renal.

Describe the location extent and gross features of kidney. Kidneys are located retroperitoneally on the posterior abdominal wall on either side of vertebral column.
It extends from T12 to L3 vertebra right kidney is slightly lower than the left. A hollow space in the medial part of the kidney that is partly occupied by blood vessels and nerves but mainly by the renal pelvis and the renal calices. Passages that drain urine into the pelvis.
The inner fibrous layer of the capsule. The outer layer of the kidney. The kidneys illustrated in Figure 1 are a pair of bean-shaped structures that are located just below and posterior to the liver in the peritoneal cavity.
The adrenal glands sit on top of each kidney and are also called the suprarenal glands. Kidneys filter blood and purify it. Kidneys are dark brown in colour and are embedded in a mass of fat.
On the upper end of each kidney suprarenal glands are situated like a cap. Each kidney is about 10 to 13 cm 4- 5 inches in long 6 cm. 2 ½ inches wide and 3 cm.
1 ½ inch in thickness. The average weight of adult kidney is about 150 gms. In males and 135 gms in females.
The kidneys are bilateral organs placed retroperitoneally in the upper left and right abdominal quadrants and are part of the urinary system. Their shape resembles a bean where we can describe the superior and inferior poles as well as the major convexity pointed laterally and the minor concavity pointed medially.

Gross Structure Of Kidney Kidneys with blood vessels the one on to right is a longitudinal section of the kidney. A kidney is a bean-shaped organ that is reddish-brown in color. It has a dimension of 11 cm in length 6 cm in width and 3 cm in thickness.
The average kidneys are about 150 gm in males and 135 gm in females. The beginning of each nephron is a cup-shaped structure called a renal capsule Bowmans capsule. This is in the cortex of the kidney.
The tube leads from the renal capsule down into the kidney medulla then loops back into the cortex before finally running back down through the medulla into the pelvis of the kidney where it joins the ureter. Gross structure of the Kidney study guide by sunny_narula includes 20 questions covering vocabulary terms and more. Quizlet flashcards activities and games help you improve your grades.
The bean-shaped kidneys have an outer convex side and an inner concave side called the renal hilus where the renal artery vein and ureter are found. A thin connective tissue called the renal capsule surrounds each kidney. This capsule maintains the kidneys shape and protects the inner tissues.
As noted previously the structure of the kidney is divided into two principle regionsthe peripheral rim of cortex and the central medulla. The two kidneys receive about 25 percent of cardiac output. They are protected in the retroperitoneal space by the renal fat pad and overlying ribs and muscle.
Figure 2511 Kidneys. The kidneys are slightly protected by the ribs and are surrounded by fat for protection. On the superior aspect of each kidney is an adrenal gland.

A tough fibrous. The renal hilum is the entry and exit site for structures servicing the kidneys. Vessels nerves lymphatics and ureters.
The medial-facing hila are tucked into the sweeping convex outline of the cortex. Emerging from the hilum is the renal pelvis which is formed from the major and minor calyxes in the kidney. There are two kidneys one on each side of the abdomen and each contains between one and two million nephrons loosely embedded in connective tissue and amply supplied with blood.
The nephron can be regarded as the functional unit of the kidney performing both functions of excretion and osmoregulation. Kidneys contain gross landmarks. The cortex medulla renal papilla and renal pelvis.
