Both the Vero cell line and the HEK293T cell line originate from this organ, which in children is affected by minimal change disease and Wilms Tumor. GFR and serum creatinine are measures of its function. This organ secretes erythropoietin and activates vitamin D by hydroxylation. The calyces of this organ surround its pyramids, and its functional unit uses a countercurrent multiplier mechanism. On section of this organ up-regulates aquaporins in response to (*) ADH. Its functional unit begins with a ball of capillaries called the glomerulus surrounded by Bowman's capsule, which then dips down into the medulla via the Loop of Henle. For 10 points, name this organ whose functional unit is the
