Chapter 15, Problem 11SAE
Summary Introduction
To review:
The labeled diagram of the longitudinal section of kidney, and label the following parts: medulla, cortex, medullary pyramids, pelvis, and renal columns.
Introduction:
Kidneys are the organs that play a major role in the excretion of wastes from the body in the form of urine. They are two in number and are located at retroperitoneal region in the superior lumbar portion.
