Urinary system. 19th century artwork showing the organs of the urinary system. At top right and left are the kidneys (brown), with an adrenal gland (purple) above each. A ureter (white) carries urine from each kidney to the bladder (bottom centre). At upper centre are the aorta (red), the body's main artery, and the vena cava (blue), the body's main vein. This anatomical artwork is plate 52 from volume 5 (1839) of 'Traite complet de l'anatomie de l'homme' (1831-1854). This 8-volume anatomy atlas was produced by the French physician and anatomist Jean-Baptiste Marc Bourgery (1797-1849). The illustrations were by Nicolas-Henri Jacob (1781-1871).
