Human Heart Anatomy

medical illustration of This anatomical illustration of the juxtaglomerular apparatus (JGA) highlights key structures in renal function, including the glomerulus, Bowman's capsule, and afferent arterioles. Juxtaglomerular cells in the afferent arteriole and macula densa cells of the distal convoluted tubule are depicted. The JGA regulates blood pressure and glomerular filtration rate via the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, making it essential for medical training and patient education.
Next medical illustration of Medical illustration of renal cell carcinoma depicting four stages of kidney cancer: Stage I (tumor <7 cm, confined to the kidney), Stage II (tumor >7 cm, still within the kidney), Stage III (tumor spread to major veins, adrenal gland, or lymph nodes), and Stage IV (tumor beyond Gerota’s fascia with distant metastases). Labeled structures include the kidney, renal vein, adrenal gland, lymph nodes, and Gerota’s fascia. This visual aids in understanding kidney cancer progression.
