How Your Kidneys Work

MEDICAL ANIMATION TRANSCRIPT: The kidneys are located on either side of the spinal column in the posterior abdominal wall. Adrenal glands sit on top of the kidney. The medullary pyramid and outer cortex compose the renal lobe. Branches of the renal artery supply each renal lobe. The smallest branches of the renal artery called afferent arterioles, supply the excretory components of the kidney called nephrons. Each nephron consists of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule. The first step of urine production, called glomerular filtration, occurs in the renal corpuscle. It consists of a network of capillaries called the glomerulus and Bowman's capsule. The diameter of the afferent arteriole is larger than the efferent arteriole. This size difference produces high pressure within the glomerulus. The pressure forces the smallest substances such as water, nitrogenous waste, amino acids, glucose, sodium ions, and calcium ions out of the blood into Bowman's capsule through tiny spaces in the membrane separating them. Other substances such as plasma proteins and red blood cells, are too large to pass through the membrane, so they remain in the blood. During the second step of urine production called tubular reabsorption, the fluid passes through the renal tubule which consists of the proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule, and collecting duct. As the fluid passes through the renal tubule, it reabsorbs useful substances into the peritubular capillaries, specifically glucose, amino acids, and some sodium and calcium ions, are reabsorbed by active transport. The peritubular capillary reabsorbs water through osmosis. The final step of urine production is tubular secretion, which occurs primarily in the distal convoluted tubules. These tubules extract larger nitrogenous wastes, excess hydrogen ions, and excess potassium ions from the peritubular capillaries and secrete them into the tubular fluid. From here, these wastes will continue through the urinary system until they pass out of the body in urine.

Animation is better than written form

[@tewiastudios]

All praise be to God Almighty. Your creation are a wonder.

[@HassanAli-kv9sg]

Better than my 10th biology book😅

[@i_43_sitinurazzahra17]

Better than boring biology teacher talk about :)

[@COMBOTUBER]

The best animation video out of 54kidney animation videos I saw.

[@dailydoseofmedicinee]

Great animation

[@HunterFilmsYTOfficialYouTube]

You're back! Been watching your channel since 2021.

[@fangstars9226]

I love their videos

[@LearnMedicineAsap]

The clear visuals and straightforward explanations make it easy to understand the importance of maintaining kidney health. Thank you for breaking down this crucial topic in such an engaging and informative way. Just keep in mind that proper kidney care involves hydration, a balanced diet, exercise, and avoiding harmful substances.

This video makes me want to drink water more.

[@medxfacts]

wao animation it so nice

मैं हमेशा आपके पेज को फॉलो करता हूँ

[@cellman1829]

This really sounds convoluted

[@HorridOnlineTroll]

This is my favourite anime

[@augustinenayagam3840]

I feel a nephrologist! So many terminologies have to be learnt carefully within 3:32 minutes where challenges are there for distraction. If Nucleus Medical Media gives a question paper side by side to attend an answer sheet for viewers (students), confident will create whether this study is an equivalent to a MBBS Thus, a curriculum CAN be constituted as though a Constitution📴

🤔 Why are the adrenaline glands connected to the kidneys

[@Mercifulservnt]

The adrenal glands are connected with the kidneys because they sit atop the kidneys, making them anatomically and functionally linked. The adrenal glands produce hormones such as adrenaline, cortisol, and aldosterone, which play important roles in regulating metabolism, immune function, and blood pressure, among other things. These hormones often interact with the kidneys to maintain homeostasis in the body.

How can you tell me life is a coincidence after this explanation. Indeed there's a LIVING GOD

So how do you not still believe in God who made us

[@user-gs2cs9so7j]

Bro, you're too slow!

[@FutureAIDev2015]

I found myself setting the speed to 1.25x; could you read your script about 25% faster?

[@raghuvenkatesan6792]

It's an education channel, better to be clear than rush

[@rahulroshan3990]

I lost my 1 kidney last year 🥺🥺🥺🥺

[@omegahaxors3306]

Yeesh, could you talk any slower?
