The human urinary system consists of a pair of kidneys with attached ureters.The ureters form both sides open into the bladder which opens into the urethra.Each kidney is a bean shaped organ enclosed in a fatty membrane.They are found attacked to the dorsal body wall with in the abdominal cavity, one on each side of vertebral column, just above the waist-line.The right kidney lies slightly anterior to the left.The concave side of the kidney faces the vertebral column.The depression in the center of this surface is called HILUS.it provides a place for the renal artery, renal vein and nerves to enter and leave the kidney.
The longitudinal section of a human kidney shows that it mainly consists of two regions. the outer dark region is called cortex.The inner pale-red region is called medulla.The medulla consists of several cone shaped areas called PYRAMIDS.
The pyramids project into a funnel-like space present in center of concave surface of kidney called renal pelvis.
A tube,called ureter ,originates from the renal pelvis.The ureters from the both kidneys open in a bladder,called as urinary bladder.
the urinary bladder opens to outside through a duck known as urethra.
