Kidney

ORGANISMS SHAPE FEATURES

 Filter our blood; all of our

blood in our body passs
Human Two bean-shaped through them several
times. Wastes get
removed and salt water
and minerals are adjusted
if needed.
 Remove wastes, control
the body’s fluid balance,
and keep the right levels
of electrolytes.

Horse Horseshoe  With horseshoe kidney,

however, as the kidneys
of the fetus rise from the
pelvic area, they fuse
together at the lower end
or base. By fusing, they
form a "U" shape, which
gives it the name
"horseshoe.”
  Balance certain
Dog Oval or bean-shaped substances in the
blood and filter out the
body’s wastes as urine.
 They maintain normal
concentrations of salt
and water in the body
 When kidneys don’t
function properly,
toxins build up in the
blood and the dog will
become ill

 Maintains the correct

balance of water and
electrolytes (salts)
Cat Oval 0r bean-shaped needed for the body’s
cells. Another key
function is the production
of erythropoietin and
renin, which are
important in maintaining
healthy blood pressure,
producing blood cells,
and absorbing salt
correctly.

Large bean-shaped  Filter wastes from the

Pig blood and to regulate the
blood salt and water level.
 Divided into approximately  Maintains homeostasis in
Cattle 20 lobules the body
 They excrete the waste
product urea, control the
concentrations of water
and salt in the body fluids,
regulates the acidity of
the blood

Carabao

Goat
 Maintains homeostasis in

 They excrete the waste
product urea, control the
concentrations of water
and salt in the body fluids,
regulates the acidity of
the blood
  Multipotent/penal
Oval in shape pyramid or mapighian
Sheep pyramid (renal medulla)

 Removes metabolic
Chicken Bean-shaped or elliptical shaped wastes and toxic
products, conserving
fluids and vital
electrolytes
 Regulates blood volume,
and production of
hormones that regulate
blood pressure and
production of red blood
cells

Lungs
Right Left
LOBES LOBES
ORGANISM FEATURES

 The right lung has

 3 lobes  2 lobes both more lobes
Human and segments than
the left. It is divided
into three lobes, an
upper, middle, and
a lower, by two
fissures, one
oblique and one
horizontal.
 Their lobes are
Horse  2 lobes  2 lobes divided into the
cranial and caudal
lobes by the cardiac
notch on other side.
 These lobes, in the
right lung, the
accessory lobe is
present.
 7 lobes  7 lobes  Left lung; cranial
and caudial lobes.
Dog  Right lung; cranial,
caudal, middle and
accessory lobes.
o The cranial
lobe is
further
divided by an
external
fissure.
 4 lobes  3 lobes  This unique
structure and
Cat number of lobes in
the cat compared
to the human is
because the feline
need more, harder,
faster breathing
mechanisms to
process air to the
body.
  4 lobes  Divided  The right lung of a pig
into 3 has four lobes and
Pig
the left lung is
divided into three.
 4 lobes  2 lobes  The left lung consists
Cattle of two lobes (lobus
cranialis, which is
divided into two
segments, and lobus
caudalis ), while the
right lung consists of
four lobes (lobus
crnialis, lobus
medius, lobus
caudalis, lobus
accessories

NONE NONE
Carabao NONE
 4 lobes  2 lobes  The lungs, along with
the larynx and trache
Goat a, develop from a
ventral respiratory
tract. After
separation from the
developing oesophag
us, two lung buds
develop, which
undergo divisions as
they grow, forming
the beginnings of
the bronchial tree.
 The left lungs are
divided into two
Sheep lobes (cranial and
caudal)
 The right lung is
consists of four lobes
 Chicken lungs
Chicken are relatively
small, they are
attached to the
ribs, and do
not expand.
