The kidneys secrete a variety of hormones, including erythropoietin, and the enzyme renin. Erythropoietin is released in response to hypoxia (low levels of oxygen at tissue level) in the renal circulation. It stimulates erythropoiesis (production of red blood cells) in the bone marrow. Calcitriol, the activated form of vitamin D, promotes intestinal absorption of calcium and the renal reabsorption of phosphate. Part of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, renin is an enzyme involved in the regulation of aldesterone levels.
What else can I help you with?
What are the short tubes receiving urine from renal pyramids?
The short tubes receiving urine from the renal pyramids are called collecting ducts. These ducts gather urine from multiple nephrons and transport it to the renal pelvis, where it then flows into the ureter. Collecting ducts play a crucial role in water reabsorption and the concentration of urine, influenced by hormones like antidiuretic hormone (ADH).
What are renal pyramids and renal columns part of?
The word "renal" means "of or pertaining to the kidneys."
The outer layer of the supra renal gland?
The outer region of the adernal glands is comprised of the Adrenal cortex, which encircles the adernal medulla.
Are the renal cortex ad adrenal cortex the same?
No, the renal cortex and adrenal cortex are not the same. The renal cortex is the outer part of the kidney, involved in filtering blood and producing urine. In contrast, the adrenal cortex is the outer layer of the adrenal glands, which are located on top of the kidneys and are responsible for producing hormones such as cortisol and aldosterone. Although they are both located in the vicinity of the kidneys, their functions and structures are distinct.
What are the the triangular-shaped areas of the renal medulla are the?
They are located in the renal medulla and are made of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule.
Where are hormones produced in the renal system?
Adrenal gland

Are renal pelvis and renal calculi the same?
The renal pelvis and renal calculi are not the same. The renal pelvis is a normal part of the body. Renal calculi are kidney stones and are not normal.

Which word means having to do with the kidneys?
The word is "renal." It refers to anything related to the kidneys, such as renal function, renal failure, or renal disease.
How is hypertension from stress different from hypertension caused by renal disease?
Hypertension from Renal disease is different from the usual hypertension caused by stress because in renal hypertension, the cause is because of a defect or a disease in the Renal system while the other is caused by stress.
What are the the triangular-shaped areas of the renal medulla are the?
They are located in the renal medulla and are made of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule.
Which blood vessel does blood leave the kidney from?

Which vessels can be found in the renal hilum?
