Anatomy of a Kidney
This cross section of a kidney, almost three
times life-size, shows its blood supply and
one of the filter tubules, a nephron, highly
magnified. The nephron is a highly
specialized coiled tubule measuring up to one
inch in length. There are more than one
million nephrons in each kidney. They
function as the kidney's filter units. The
kidneys filter unwanted materials from the
blood and regulate the levels of water and
chemicals in the body. As blood flows
through a glomerular tuft, a tight knot of
blood capillaries from which water and
chemicals filter into the nephrons, fluid is
forced into the Bowman's capsule. The
Bowman's capsule, the expanded beginning of
the tubule, acts as the nephron's collecting
cup for fluid filtering from the blood. The
filtrate then flows along the coiled tubule.
Further waste material is secreted directly
into the nephron tubule. At the same time,
reaabsorption of essential chemicals into the
capillaries takes place. The loop of Henle,
the central region of the nephron, acts as
the primary reabsorption area. Urine, the
yellowish liquid remaining, passes from the
nephron-collecting ducts into the renal
pelvis, which lies at the core of the kidney
and acts as a funnel to conduct the liquid
into the ureter. Through the ureters, the
urine is conducted away from the kidney and
emptied into the bladder The cortex, or the
outer region of the kidney, houses the
glomreulus of each nephron. The medulla, or
the inner region of the kidney, contains the
loops of Henle and the collecting ducts.

| Podcast: Living Donor Kidney Transplant |
 |
On Wednesday, May 3, 2006 at 4:30 p.m. ET
watch as surgeons from the University of
Maryland Medical Center (UMMC) in Baltimore
remove a kidney from a living donor and place
the organ inside a recipient during a living
kidney donor transplant.
Due to the growing shortage of organs
available for transplantation, there has been
an increase in the use of living donors for
kidney transplantation. Surgeons at UMMC use
a minimally-invasive procedure called
laparoscopic nephrectomy to remove a kidney
from a donor.
"Surgeons here at the University of Maryland
helped develop this technique a decade ago
and we are recognized experts having
performed more than 1,000 laparoscopic
nephrectomies from living...
