Describe the function of the kidney. What is stored in the renal pelvis? What is the kidney’s major functional unit?
The function of the kidneys is to filter the blood before sending it back to the heart. It passes out waste from the blood in the form of urine. It primarily performs the function of purifying the blood and passing out the wastes in the form of urine.
The renal pelvis is responsible for collecting urine from the urinary calices.
The major functional and structural unit of the kidney is nephron. Each nephron is comprised of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule.

: major branches of the abdominal aorta. The 5. Each renal pyramid tapers into a slender papilla. Each papilla borders on a calyx, the first urine-draining structure. Three to four minor calyces drain into a larger urine-draining calyx. Two to three major calyces drain into a large urine collecting chamber, the renal pelvis which leads to the ureter. The calyces and renal pelvis are found in the renal sinus. cup-shaped tube the...
Chronic kidney disease is a progressive loss of renal function. All organ systems are affected by chronic renal failure. Discuss the causes of anemia, or cardiovascular diseas, bone changes, or neurological changes associated with chronic renal failure. Discuss how this knowledge will guide your bedside nursing care. Discuss anticipatory, safe, and deliberate nursing care for the situation presented?
