4 (identification only)

external border

5

hilus, area where renal arteries/veins and ureters enter/leave kidney

6

renal cortex, filters blood

7

renal medulla, filtration of blood by nephrons

8

renal pyramid, contains collecting/papillary ducts that collect filtrate from nephrons and drain urine towards renal papilla

9 (identification only)

base of renal pyramid

10

renal papilla, transports filtrate from papillary duct and sends urine to minor calyx

30

renal artery, transports blood from abdominal aorta to segmental artery

26

renal vein, transports blood from interlobar vein to inferior vena cava

31

interlobar artery, transports blood from segmental artery to arcuate artery

32

arcuate artery, transports blood from interlobar artery to cortical radiate artery

33

cortical radiate artery, transports blood from arcuate artery to afferent arteriole

13

renal corpuscle, filters blood to form filtrate

12

peritubular capillaries, transport blood from efferent arterioles to cortical radiate veins

34

vasa recta, transports blood from efferent arterioles through renal medulla back to cortical radiate veins

29

cortical radiate vein, transports blood from vasa recta/pertibular capillaries to arcuate vein

28

arcuate vein, transports blood from cortical radiate veins to interlobar veins

27

interlobar vein, transports blood from arcuate vein to renal vein

11 (identification only)

columns of Bertini

14

proximal convoluted tubule, transports filtrate from glomerulus to descending loop of Henle

16

descending loop of Henle, transports filtrate from proximal convoluted tubule to ascending loop of Henle

15

ascending loop of Henle, transports filtrate from descending loop of Henle to distal convoluted tubule

17

distal convoluted tubule, transports filtrate from ascending loop of Henle to collecting tubule

18

collecting tuble, transports filtrate from distal convoluted tubule to collecting duct

19, 24

excretory tubules, collect filtrate and drain urine towards renal papilla

23

area cribrosa, collects filtrate from renal pyramids and sends urine into calyces

22

minor calyx, collects filtrate from papillary duct and sends urine to major calyx

21

major calyx, transports urine from minor calyx to renal pelvis

20

renal pelvis, transports urine from major calyx to ureter

25

ureter, transports urine from renal pelvis to bladder
