Urinary system, artwork C013 / 4670
Urinary system. Computer artwork showing the kidneys (top), the main organs of the urinary system. The kidneys are located in the upper abdomen. The function of the kidneys is to filter waste products such as urea from the blood to form urine. The urine drains to the bladder (bottom) through the ureters (tubes running downwards). The urine leaves the bladder through the urethra. On top of each kidney is an adrenal gland (orange). This gland produces adrenaline, along other hormones. Adrenaline is produced as part of the flight-or-fight response. This is a male urinary system, with the prostate gland below the bladder

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of the urinary system, specifically artwork C013 / 4670. The focal point of this computer-generated illustration is the kidneys, located in the upper abdomen and considered to be the main organs of the urinary system. With their vital role in waste filtration, these bean-shaped powerhouses extract urea from our blood to create urine. The journey of urine is beautifully depicted as it travels through the ureters, slender tubes running downwards towards its final destination - the bladder. Positioned below this reservoir lies another significant component - the prostate gland, making this a male urinary system portrayal. Adding a touch of vibrancy are two orange adrenal glands perched on top of each kidney. These remarkable glands not only contribute to hormone production but also play a crucial part in triggering adrenaline release during fight-or-flight responses. This stunning artwork provides an exceptional visual representation for those interested in understanding human anatomy and biology. It serves as a reminder that within our bodies lie complex systems working harmoniously to maintain health and functionality.
