Document Summary
Left kidney higher than right kidney: adrenal gland sits on top of kidneys, renal vein, renal artery, abdominal aorta, renal capsule, relatively thick and stiff, renal fascia. Supranumerary renal aarteries: 3 renal arteries on left, two renal arteries on right: nephron (filter, reabsorb, secrete, anatomy - afferent & efferent a. , renal corpuscle (glomerulus+capsule), tubules, collecting duct, Peritubular capillaries: afferent artery goes towards from the kidney, efferent artery goes away the kidney, proximal convoluted tubule, distal convoluted tubule (further from the glomerulus that the proximal tubule, collecting duct. Loop of henle: corpuscle = filtrate, tubules = reabsorption & secretion, glomerulus, proximal ct, loop of henle, distal ct, collecting duct (which is permeable to h20?) tastes the urine to see what is present: measures what is happening in the filtrate, changes afferent and efferent flow depending on how much or little filtrate is wanted to continue to filter through the glomerulus. Sympathetic nerve acts on afferent arteriole to slow filtration.
