📐 Kidney Diagram Class 10

The kidneys filter waste and excess fluid from the blood, producing urine and helping regulate blood pressure. This model labels the internal structures where that filtering takes place.

Why It's Important

• Removes waste products from the blood
• Maintains water balance in the body
• Regulates blood pressure
• Produces urine
• Helps control electrolyte balance

Observation Points

• Locate the outer cortex and inner medulla
• Trace urine's path from the pyramids to the renal pelvis
• Follow the ureter down to the bladder
• Identify the renal artery and vein

Learning Objectives

• Identify the main parts of the kidney
• Explain how blood is filtered inside the kidney
• Describe how urine forms and leaves the kidney
• Understand why healthy kidneys are essential

Summary

The kidneys continuously filter blood, remove waste, regulate body fluids, and help maintain the body's internal balance -- healthy kidneys are essential for normal body function.
