Histology: kidneys

outer of the kidney is called the

renal cortex

darker/reddish brown deeper to renal cortex is called

renal medulla

glomerulus and bowmans capsule together is called

renal corpuscle

each nephron drains into a

collecting duct

nephron and its collecting duct together is called

uriniferous tubule

do capillaries in glomerulus have diaphragms

no

are capillaries in glomerulus fenestrated

yes

afferent arterioles branch into ____ of 20-40 loops

tuffs

renal corpuscle and convoluted tubules are located in

cortexl

loops of henle and connecting tubule and collecting duct are found in

medulla

bowman’s capsule has how many layers

2

the two layers of Bowman’s capsule is parietal and ______ layer

visceral

parietal layer of bowman’s capsule is made of what type of epithelium

simple squamous

visceral layer of Bowman’s capsule have what that embrace capillaries of glomerulus

podocytes

what space is between parietal and visceral layers of Bowman’s capsule

urinary (bowman’s) space

where does affeerent and efferent arterioles enter/exit

vascular pole

where does filtrate exit Bowman’s space and enter proximal convoluted tubue

urinary pole

Each podocyte has several primary processes —>secondary processes —> and they end as

pedicels

space between pedicels is called

filtration slits

T/F:
