1. Renal Cortex outer region of the kidney
2. Renal Medulla inner inner of the kidney
3. Renal Pelvis central collecting region in the kidney
4. Major/Minor Re- cup-like structures within the kidney that collect urine from nephrons and guide it
nal Calices into the renal pelvis
5. Renal Pyramids triangular-shaped areas of tissue in the medulla of the kidney
,6. Renal Artery/Vein blood supply to and from the kidneys
7. Renal Columns Inward extensions of the cortex tissue separating the renal pyramids.
8. Proximal Convo- first section of the renal tubule that the blood flows through; reabsorption of water,
luted Tubule ions, and all organic nutrients
9. Papillary Duct collects tubular fluid from multiple collecting ducts and delivers it to a minor calyx
, 10. Renal Corpuscle filters blood plasma; glomerulus and bowman's capsule
11. Proximal Straight Thick descending limb of the loop of Henle
Tubule
12. Distal Straight
Tubule
Thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle
13. Henle's Loop long loop into medulla between proximal and distal convoluted portions of kidney
tubule
