Urinary system, artwork C015 / 6454
Urinary system. Computer artwork showing the organs of the human urinary system. The kidneys (red, top left and right) filter waste products such as urea from the blood to form urine. The urine drains to the bladder (lower centre) through the ureters (tubes, vertical, left and right). The urine then leaves the bladder through the urethra (bottom centre). On top of each kidney is an adrenal gland, which produces adrenaline, along with other hormones. Adrenaline is produced as part of the flight-or-fight response

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of the human urinary system. Created through computer artwork, it provides a detailed visualization of the organs involved in this vital bodily process. The kidneys take center stage, depicted in a striking red hue, symbolizing their crucial role as waste filters. Positioned at the top left and right corners, they diligently extract urea and other waste products from the bloodstream to form urine. The journey of urine is elegantly portrayed in this artwork. From the kidneys, it travels through slender tubes called ureters shown vertically on both sides before reaching its destination - the bladder located at the lower center. The final step in this excretory pathway is illustrated by the presence of a prominent urethra at the bottom center. Adding further intrigue to this image are two adrenal glands perched atop each kidney. These small but mighty glands play an essential role in our body's response to stress or danger by producing adrenaline alongside other hormones. Set against a pristine white background, this illustration not only highlights anatomical precision but also emphasizes its significance within biology and human health. It serves as a powerful visual aid for educational purposes while offering an aesthetic appeal that captures attention effortlessly. Photographer Henning Dalhoff has masterfully captured every detail with utmost clarity and artistic finesse, making this print from Science Photo Library an invaluable addition to any scientific collection or educational setting focused on understanding our remarkable urinary system.
