Which of the following labels correctly identifies the juxtaglomerular apparatus? (delete)

Letter C

This is composed of dense irregular tissue that runs continuous with the ureter.

Letter C - renal capsule

This layer's main function is to protect the kidney from trauma and hold it in place within the abdominal cavity.

Letter B - adipose capsule

This layer runs deep to the peritoneum on the anterior surface of the kidneys.

Letter A - renal fascia

This can be divided into the cortical zone and the juxtamedullary zone.

Letter A - renal cortex

Each kidney can have anywhere from 8 to 18 of these.

Letter C - minor calyces

Urine formed by the nephrons first drains into these.

Letter K - papillary ducts

What two structures comprise the renal corpuscle?

A and B - glomerulus (capillary network) and the glomerular capsule (Bowman's capsule)

Where is the distal convoluted tubule?

Letter D - (further away)

Where is the arcuate vein?

Letter H

Where is the ascending limb of the nephron loop?

Letter L

Where is the corticomedullary junction?

Letter J

Where is the papillary duct?

Letter N

What does line "M" point to?

Collecting duct

What is line "C" pointing to?

What is line "A" pointing to?

Fenestration

What is line "B" pointing to?

Pedicel

Which is line "C" pointing to?

Fluid flowing from point G in the figure will go to which structure next?

Letter I - from Nephron loop: descending limb to Ascending loop of Nephron

Fluid flowing from point H in the figure will go to which structure next?

Letter B - from Ascending loop of Nephron to distal convoluted tubule
