Kideny and adrenal gland
Kidney and adrenal gland, artwork. The kidney is one of a pair of organs that form urine by filtering out waste products from the blood. The urine travels down the ureter (tube, lower right) to the bladder (unseen), where it is excreted. The adrenal gland sits on top of the kidney. This endocrine gland secretes a variety of hormones. These include adrenaline (epinephrine), the bodys stress hormone, and corticosteroid hormones, which affect carbohydrate metabolism and the sex glands

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the intricate beauty and functionality of the kidney and adrenal gland. The kidney, a vital organ in our body, plays a crucial role in filtering waste products from our blood to produce urine. In this stunning print, we witness the complexity of its structure and marvel at its ability to maintain our internal balance. Adjacent to the kidney rests the adrenal gland, an endocrine powerhouse that releases various hormones essential for our well-being. Among these hormones is adrenaline, famously known as the body's stress hormone, which prepares us for fight or flight responses during challenging situations. Additionally, corticosteroid hormones produced by this gland impact carbohydrate metabolism and influence the functioning of our sex glands. The artist has masterfully captured every detail of these organs with precision and artistry. Through their skillful use of color and texture, they have brought life to this scientific illustration. This print serves as a reminder of both the aesthetic wonders found within our bodies and their remarkable physiological processes. Whether you are passionate about biology or simply appreciate art that merges science with creativity, this print from Science Photo Library is sure to captivate your imagination. It invites us to explore the intricacies of human anatomy while appreciating its artistic representation—a true testament to how science can inspire awe-inspiring works of art.
