Anatomical and physiological characteristics of the kidney

Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This article provides a detailed overview of the anatomical structure and physiological functions of the kidneys. The kidneys play a crucial role in excreting metabolic waste products, maintaining water-electrolyte balance, and ensuring homeostasis. The paper discusses the structure of the nephron, the process of urine formation (filtration, reabsorption, and secretion), as well as the endocrine functions of the kidneys. Additionally, the impact of kidney dysfunction on the human body is analyzed.
