The Kidney and renal Vessels
This is another series of lessons and is similar to the Art In Your Heart, Critical Thinking in Physiology: Cardiac anatomy
I would like you to draw a kidney, including the large vessels and the ureter
The final piece of work should take you about 4 hours.
Watch all the videos and learn how to sketch and shade the kidney and vessels. You can sketch and watch along or watch then sketch. Its up to you. Upload your finished piece of work
Lets Begin!
Below is a little video of a sketch of a kidney bean in order to practice your continuous shading.
Kidney Images to draw and label
Here are the images of the kidneys as they would be found in the body. You need to know which are the blood vessels coming into and going out of the kidney- in addition to the kidney ‘piping’.
The dissection is a little tricky to draw so for ease we’re going to draw a model of a kidney (the colours aren’t what they’re really like).
Your drawing has to be labelled.
Try and make a note of what each of these structures does.
Where have you met some of these structures before?
Have a look at the human kidney below. See if you can label the following structures. How does this image make you feel?
You need to label:
Right Kidney
Left Kidney
Left renal artery
Left renal vein
Right renal artery
Right renal vein
Right Ureter
Left ureter
Descending Aorta
Inferior Vena Cava
Did you get all of the structures correct?
This is the image we will be copying. It has labelling on it to hep you refer to the anatomical parts as you go along. See if you can recognise the structures from the image above.
You need to label:
Right Kidney
Left Kidney
Left renal artery
Left renal vein
Right renal artery
Right renal vein
Right Ureter
Left ureter
Descending Aorta
Inferior Vena Cava
Adrenal gland
When you start drawing, in order for it to be accurate you can use a grid or tracing.
Using a grid enables your drawings to be kept to scale. Draw a grid 4×4 and then see if you can place the organ and vessels accurately
Label your drawing with the following….
