<p>renal corspuscle</p><p> </p>

renal corspuscle

has glomerulus the purple lines

-ball of capillaries where filtration begins

2
New cards

renal tube

has

-proximal convoluted tube

-loop of henle

-distal convoluted tube

-collecting ducts

3
New cards
<p>proximal convoluted tube </p>

proximal convoluted tube

reabsorbs water ions and nutrient back into blood

4
New cards
<p>loop of Henley </p>

loop of Henley

  • descending limb: permeable 2 water

  • ascending limb: permeable 2 salt

5
New cards
<p>blue</p>

blue

distal convulated tubule

regulates salt and ph balance

6
New cards

collecting duct

collects urine from nephrons and adjust h20 content under hormonal control

7
New cards

filtration silts

in between glomerulus pedicle for selective filtration

-ensures kindey filters waste while keep essential proteins in blood

8
New cards

podocyte cells

cells that cover glomerulus, filter micronutrients

9
New cards

y are glomerulus different from other capillaries

-positioned in between 2 arterioles

-fenestrated

-operate under high pressure
