Nephron tubule
Proximal convoluted tubule: large
cuboidal cells w microvilli,
reabsorb water and solutes from
filtrate
Loop of henle: hairpin turn
- Descending: thin, simple
squamous for water
absorption
- Ascending: thick, cuboidal
that reabsorb salt from
filtrate
Distal conv tubule: small cuboidal
cells, secrete into filtrate
Collecting sys: duct receives urine
from 7+ nephrons, final
adjustments to filtrate, passes
thru medulla and empties into
minor calyx
- Collecting tubes: connect
individual nephrons to
ducts, cuboidal
- Collecting ducts: ducts
converge into papillary
ducts, simple cuboidal
simple columnar
Pap ducts: empties into minor
calyx, columnar
Juxtaglomerular
apparatus
1 per nephron, where initial
portion of distal tubules comes
into contact w afferent arteriole
at vascular pole
Juxta cells: contain smooth
muscle cells w mechanoRs that
sense BP and V prod renin
Macula densa
mod cuboidal cells look columnar,
monitor solute conc in tube
Ureter
begins at L2 level, cont w renal
pelvis
30cm muscular tubes connects
kidney to bladder
Retroperitoneal, secured to
posterior ab wall, enters bladder
at oblique angle + slit opening

Document Summary

Nephron tubule proximal convoluted tubule: large cuboidal cells w microvilli, reabsorb water and solutes from filtrate. Descending: thin, simple squamous for water absorption. Ascending: thick, cuboidal that reabsorb salt from filtrate. Distal conv tubule: small cuboidal cells, secrete into filtrate. Collecting sys: duct receives urine from 7+ nephrons, final adjustments to filtrate, passes thru medulla and empties into minor calyx. Collecting tubes: connect individual nephrons to ducts, cuboidal. Collecting ducts: ducts converge into papillary ducts, simple cuboidal simple columnar. 1 per nephron, where initial portion of distal tubules comes into contact w afferent arteriole at vascular pole. Juxta cells: contain smooth muscle cells w mechanors that sense bp and v prod renin. Ureter monitor solute conc in tube begins at l2 level, cont w renal pelvis. Retroperitoneal, secured to posterior ab wall, enters bladder at oblique angle + slit opening prevents backflow of urine into ureter, increased p causes distal end of ureter to close)
