The Renal System

The renal system, also known as the urinary system, is essential for urine passage, storage, and excretion. This intricate organ system includes bean-shaped kidneys that filter approximately 1,700 quarts of blood daily to create urine. Ureters, about 6-7 inches long, transport the urine from the kidneys to the bladder, a muscular organ that stores urine until disposal. The urethra is the final passage through which urine is excreted from the body. This overview covers the basic anatomy and functionality of the renal system.

  3. Basic Anatomy

  4. Kidneys • Bean-shaped organs about the size of your fist. • Located a hand up from the top of your hips, near the middle of your back. • Filter about 1700 quarts of blood a day (in a normal adult) and form urine for excretion.

  5. Ureters • Tubes about 6-7 inches long that transport urine from the renal pelvis to the bladder.

  6. Bladder • Hollow, muscular organ that stores urine until it is ready to be excreted from the body.

  7. Urethra • A tube of smooth muscle with a mucous lining through which urine is excreted.
