The kidney is the body's filter organ. The picture shows the finest loops of a kidney corpuscle (Malpighi body) from the kidney cortex. In these vessels, the urinary substances (waste products of metabolism) are separated from the blood. The regulation of the body's water and electrolyte balance and the production of renal hormones (prostaglandin, renin, erythropoietin, vitamin D3, kinins) takes place in the kidneys.
