Kidney structure,
in this course explore the detailed anatomy of one of the body's most vital organs. In this course, we will learn about the external and internal structure of the kidney, including the renal capsule, cortex, medulla, renal pyramids, calyces, and pelvis. You’ll also study the nephron—the functional unit of the kidney—and its components such as the glomerulus, Bowman’s capsule, proximal and distal convoluted tubules, loop of Henle, and collecting duct system. The course covers the kidney’s blood supply and filtration structures, helping you understand how blood is filtered and urine is formed. Through clear visuals and explanations, we’ll link kidney structure to its critical roles in homeostasis, fluid regulation, and waste elimination. Ideal for students of medicine, biology, and healthcare, this course builds foundational knowledge in human anatomy and renal physiology. Let’s begin our journey through the structure of the kidney.
