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.

| Kidney Sales - India |
 |
Sep 1997
Driven by poverty and unscrupulous doctors, a
thriving trade in illegal body parts is
flourishing in northern India. Most customers
are rich South East Asians desperate for a
body organ they cannot get any other way.
Extraordinary access to the story of one Thai
woman and her husband who travelled to India
for a kidney donation that went wrong.
Documents her journey, operation and
subsequent unexpected death in an Indian
hospital. Tracks down the doctor who
performed the operation, the middlemen who
make most of the money and the man who
donated his kidney to examine why this
illegal trade still flourishes
