Doctor showing a scan of a healthy urinary system. This is a coloured 3D computed tomography (CT) scan. Waste products are filtered from the blood by the kidneys (red), where they are processed into urine. The urine then passes into the calyces (collecting ducts in the kidneys, white), then down to the bladder (yellow) through the ureters (white tubes).
