One fact about your Kidneys
we filter all your blood so free
Through the Nephrons
There's about a million in each kidney
The Kidneys shaped just like a bean
It’s about the size of the fist you see
And it’s top is covered by your
Adrenal Gland
The Adrenal glands made of two parts
The Cortex and the Medulla
These parts produce certain hormones
Your body needs
The Renal Vein and Artery
Are what bring blood to and from us see
There attached to us right near
Where the Ureters be
Kidneys create hormones
that tell the body to make more red blood cells
They also regulate your liquids
and nutrients really well

Dirty blood pumped into Kidneys
Through your Renal Arteries
Which comes directly from your hearts
Aortic Artery
The blood then moves to your
Segmental and smaller arteries
Which pumps blood to be filtered
By your Nephrons that you see
Your Nephrons job is to filter and expel
waste from your blood
Then that water waste is sent down
to the Renal Medulla
Collecting Ducts move wastewater
to the Renal Papilla
Then through the Renal Pelvis
to the Ureters like a straw
Ureters take the wastewater
That we all call Urine
and carries it to your Bladder
to the toilet, it goes in
Cleanly filtered blood returns
to your body once again
through your Renal Vein
So it can start its journey once again
