the kidneys are made up of medulla and the cortex. the cortex is the lighter exterior, while the medulla is an area made up of feathery like structures closer to the center which are attached to the ureter. Inside the kidneys are millions of nephrons which filter the blood. they do this by having blood build up a high pressure in the glomerulus ( a ball of capillaries) so that the small molecules ( water,glucose,etc) are forced thorugh into the bowman's capsule while the blood cells and proteins stay, as they are too big to be filtered. :)

How Does Kindneys And Other Organs Work Together?

The kidneys play a crucial role in filtering waste products and excess fluid from the blood, while other organs like the heart and lungs help deliver nutrients and oxygen to the kidneys. The circulatory system transports blood to and from the kidneys for filtration, with the liver metabolizing and detoxifying any substances before they reach the kidneys. The endocrine system also interacts with the kidneys to regulate blood pressure and electrolyte balance. Collaboration among these organs is essential for maintaining overall health and homeostasis in the body.
