Kidney Dissection

 * Instructions**
 * 1) Create a document/poster entitled "2i Kidney Dissection"
 * 2) Examine the outside of the kidney. Try to identify the renal artery, renal vein and ureter. Note its colour and texture.
 * 3) Use the camera on your computer to record an image. Label and annotate the image using your observations from the first step.
 * 4) Now carefully cut the kidney in half lengthways, start your cut at the opposite side to where the vessels enter and leave the kidney. See the image below:
 * 1) Carefully observe the inside of the kidney, noting the different layers, colours and any tubes or vessels.
 * 2) Use the camera on your computer to record an image. Label and annotate the image using your observations from the previous step.
 * 3) Your finished document/poster should contain general information on the kidneys and an outline of how the labelled structures help the kidney clean urea from the blood to make urine.


 * Resources and Help**
 * Using the guidance from Dynamic Science to help identify the different structures in the kidney
 * Controlling water in the body from s-cool covers kidney structure and function and can be useful for constructing annotations and additional information for your poster
