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

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
