In adults they are about 11 centimetres (4.3 in) in length. They receive blood from the paired renal arteries; blood exits into the paired renal veins. Each kidney is attached to a ureter, a tube that carries excreted urine to the bladder.

• parathyroid glands
  10 September 2007

  WP
  The parathyroid glands are named for their proximity to the thyroid but serve a completely different role than the thyroid gland.
  The parathyroid glands are quite easily recognizable from the thyroid as they have densely packed cells, in contrast with the follicular structure of the thyroid.
  Several types of cells are present in the parathyroid gland:
  chief cells
  They synthesize and release parathyroid hormone (PTH).
  These cells are small, and appear dark when loaded with (...)
