An Overview of the Renal System and Nephron Anatomy
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

Understanding the Human Urinary System
The human urinary system consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. The kidneys filter blood to produce urine, which is carried to the bladder through the ureters for storage until excretion. Each kidney is structured with renal pyramids and nephrons for blood filtration and waste remov
