renal artery - Correct Answer -blood vessel that carries blood IN to the kidney
renal vein - Correct Answer -blood vessel that carries blood away from the kidney
and toward the heart (reabsorption)
renal medulla (of kidney) - Correct Answer -inner portion of the kidney, called
pyramids
renal columns - Correct Answer -Inward extensions of the cortex tissue separating
the renal pyramids.
minor calyces - Correct Answer -cup-shaped areas that collect urine draining from
pyramidal papillae
,major calyces - Correct Answer -areas that collect urine from minor calyces, empty
urine into renal pelvis
renal pelvis - Correct Answer -funnel-shaped reservoir that collects the urine and
passes it to the bladder
ureter - Correct Answer -tube that carries urine from the kidney to the urinary
bladder
the lobe - Correct Answer -structural unit of the kidney, 14 lobes
nephron - Correct Answer -Functional unit of the kidney
filtration
collection
Types of Nephrons: - Correct Answer -superficial
midcortical
juxtamedullary (concentration of urine)
, glomerulus - Correct Answer -A ball of capillaries surrounded by Bowman's
capsule in the nephron and serving as the site of filtration in the vertebrate
kidney.
Bownman's capsule - Correct Answer -cup shaped structure surrounding the
glomerulus
mesangial cells - Correct Answer -control blood pressure and filtration within
glomerulus. they also have phagocytic properties similar to monocytes and
release inflammatory cytokines and growth factor.
renal corpuscle - Correct Answer -glomerulus and bowman's capsule
glomerular - Correct Answer -filtration
proximal convoluted tubule - Correct Answer -reabsorption
65% of salt and water and most organic substances are reabsorbed in the PCT
Remainder absorbed throughout tubule system- ADH and aldosterone influence
amounts
