What is the structure and function of the kidney and its parts?

The kidney is a bean-shaped organ composed of three main parts: the cortex, medulla, and pelvis. The cortex contains nephrons, the functional units responsible for filtering blood and producing urine. The medulla contains renal pyramids that facilitate the concentration of urine, while the renal pelvis collects urine before it flows to the ureter. Overall, the kidney regulates fluid balance, electrolytes, and waste removal from the bloodstream.


Function of kidney pelvis?

The kidney pelvis is a funnel-shaped structure that collects urine from the kidney's calyces and funnels it into the ureter for transport to the bladder. It also contains the renal papilla, through which urine flows out of the kidney and into the ureter. The kidney pelvis helps maintain the flow and excretion of urine from the kidney.
