1. renal capsule bottom line. provides protection from trauma and damage
2. ureter 4. aid the urine in moving from the kidneys to the bladder
3. renal vein 5. veins that drain the kidney. They connect the kidney to the inferior vena cava.
4. renal artery arise off the side of the abdominal aorta, immediately below the superior mesen-
teric artery, and supply the kidneys with blood.
5. cortex highly vascularized, contains glomeruli and convoluted tubules, which filter body
wastes from the blood, reclaim useful materials, and dispose of the remainder as
urine.

6. medulla loops of henle are here = urine filtration.
7. renal pyramids part of the medulla. extend into funnel-like extensions (called calyces), where the
collection of urine occurs
8. renal columns extension of the renal cortex in between the renal pyramids. It allows the cortex
to be better anchored.
9. renal pelvis continuous with the ureter. has portions that extend towards the apexes of the
renal pyramids. The primary (large) extensions are the major calyces and the
smaller extensions are the minor calyces.
10. glomerulus in kidney cortex. first step in filtering blood to form urine.

11. renal tubules receives plasma filtrate from the glomerulus and processes it into urine. proximal
tubule, loops of henle, distal convoluted tubule, collecting duct. (shown pink on
slide. surround corpuscle)
12. bowman's cap- performs the first step in the filtration of blood to form urine. A glomerulus is
sule enclosed in the sac. Fluids from blood in the glomerulus are collected in the
Bowman's capsule and further processed along the nephron to form urine.
13. what is renal cor- glomerulus + bowman's capsule
puscle?
14. kidney cortex cortex = many corpuscles!
