DESCRIPTION: 
The kidneys excrete waste products of metabolism and toxic substances from the body. They help maintain the fluid and electrolyte balance. Each kidney is located laterally to the spinal column, in the upper part of the abdomen. They are retroperitoneal, embedded in a mass of fatty tissue, which is surrounded by a fibrous covering called renal fascia.
The renal circulation Approximately 25% of the output from the left ventricle is distributed, in each cardiac cycle, to the kidneys for filtra-don. The renal artery which branches from the aorta after several subdivisions end in a cluster of capillaries to form the glomerulus. All the glomeruli lie in the kidney cortex. The glomerulus is surrounded by a dosed end of a long tortuous renal tubule, the nephron. This dosed end is named Bowman's capsule.
Blood leaving the glomerulus flows to a second capillary network around the tubules of its own nephron before draining into a vein.
