Document Summary

Parts of the kidney: renal cortex, renal medulla, the major arteries and veins, papillae of the renal medulla (renal pyramids, renal pelvis connected to the ureter, blood in at glomerulus, filtered through nephron, urine out collecting duct. 20% are juxtamedullary (dip into the medulla) ~106 nephrons/ kidney: most nephrons are in cortex, however ones that go to medulla are very important. Lobulated kidney: some mammals have lobulated kidney, which increases surface area. Reniculate kidneys lobular design that increases surface area. Nephron is the functional unit of the kidney. Each human kidney contains >1 million nephrons.
