title: The biomechanics of the kidney: the isothermal function of the capsule adipose renis.
abstract: The paper describes the research in the field of thermodynamics. It deals with the function of capsule adipose renis. This homogenous tissue of low temperature acts as an independent thermal conductor. In fact, by encapsulating the kidney, it acts as a vacuum-flask, providing insulation for the kidney from two surrounding thermal areas, the warmer being on the interperitoneum and the cooler on the skin surface.
