Document Summary
Tubule system = bowman"s capsule, loop of henley, (would do nothing w/o vascular system need to have exchange b/w the two system to do process of urine production) Vascular network can be seen in series of diff vessels, Renal artery brings blood into afferent arteriole (leads to individual glomerulus) Peritubular are the capillaries are the capuillaries wrapped around loop of henley of the majority of the nephrons, Vesa recta are referring to the specific capillaries wrapped around loop of henely (deepest of nephrons) that go down into the medulla . Leads into venules, empty into renal vein to take things away. Two major areas exchange b/w (i) vascular (glomerlus) (ii) tubular (peritbular or vesa recta) ** very important to reclaim that vol which was filtered in glomerulus , things which got filtered will be reabsorbed back into the glomerulus. Diagram on the right is simple illustration of the nephron: kidenys recive 20% of cardiac output ,
