The renal system consists of the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra, responsible for producing, transporting, storing, and excreting urine. The kidneys are surrounded by three layers, and the nephron is the functional unit responsible for filtering blood and producing urine. Key componen

Kidneys play a crucial role in regulating arterial blood pressure, erythrocyte production, glucose synthesis, and filtration through nephrons. They cannot regenerate nephrons, leading to a gradual decrease in function with age. Key structures like the hilum, renal artery, and vein, as well as the ne
