Outermost layer of the kidney, responsible for filtration and reabsorption.

Inner region of the kidney, containing structures responsible for concentrating urine.

Triangular-shaped structures within the medulla, responsible for urine production.

Extensions of the cortex that extend into the medulla, separating the renal pyramids.

Striations within the renal cortex extending from the pyramids, contributing to urine formation.

Funnel-shaped structure that collects urine from the kidney and directs it to the ureter.

Smaller compartments within the renal pelvis, each receiving urine from a minor calyx.

Even smaller compartments within the major calyces, directly collecting urine from the renal papilla.

The opening at the medial border of the kidney where vessels, nerves, and the ureter pass through.

A small tube that collects urine from the renal papilla and empties into the renal pelvis.

The apex (tip) of the renal pyramid, where urine is drained.

The area surrounding the renal pelvis, containing blood vessels, nerves, and fat.

The functional unit of the kidney, responsible for filtering blood and producing urine.

The process of filtering waste products from the blood and forming urine.

An X-ray imaging technique used to visualize the kidneys, ureters, and bladder.

A condition where one kidney is absent.

A variation where a prominent band of cortical tissue protrudes into the renal sinus.

A congenital condition where kidney tissue is divided into two parts, each with its own ureter working independently.

A kidney found outside its normal location in the lumbar region, often in the pelvis or on the opposite side of the body.

An ectopic kidney located in the pelvis.

A rare condition where two ectopic kidneys not only cross sides of the body but also fuse together. It can appear as a larger kidney or a mass.

A condition where the lower ends of both kidneys join together, appearing in front of the abdominal aorta. This creates a U-shaped structure.

A technique that uses X-rays to visualize the urinary system, often with the help of contrast material.
