They have never failed me
Functional till all time
They have never wasted
Beautiful they are built
To the left and right
In the retroperitoneal space
Receiving blood from renal arteries
For the ability to sustain
Filtering blood to create urine
The right below the diaphragm
Posterior to the liver
The left below diaphragm
Posterior of the spleen
On top of each adrenal gland
Protected by ribs
The perirenal fat
Between renal fascia and renal capsule
Anterior surface peritoneum
Posterior surface
Is The transversalis fascia
Divided into two major structures
The outer renal cortex
The inner renal medulla
Despite small size
Receiving 20% of the cardiac output
To the nervous system
They communicate
Via renal plexus,whose fibres course
Along the renal arteries
Care for the kidney
Drinking much water in the day
To sustain the function
Keeping always alive and healthy
