Our kidneys are two bean-shaped organs that help the body pass waste as urine. In addition, these organs filter blood before sending it back to the heart, maintain overall fluid balance, and create hormones that help produce red blood cells, promote bone health, and regulate blood pressure. This histology art illustrates simple cuboidal epithelium forming the many tubules, which comprise the medulla of the kidney.
