Document Summary

Choose the structures in numeric order that trace the flow of filtrate and tubular fluid through the kidney. Capillaries glomerulus glomerular capsule (capsular space) proximal convoluted tubule nephron loop/loop of henle distal convoluted tubule collecting duct. Movement of water from renal tubules into surrounding capillaries. Trace the passage of an oocyte from the ovary to the uterus. Oocyte ovulates from ovary (ruptures) swept up into infundibulum by fimbriae oocyte enters opening of uterine tube ampulla isthmus enters body of uterus oocyte, if fertilized, implants into endometrium. From renal artery from abdominal aorta (lots of pressure) Lots of waste in the kidney with the oxygen-rich blood. Blood leaving kidney = oxygen-poor and waste poor. The efferent arterioles branch into one of two types of capillary networks. Peritubular capillaries of cortical nephrons or vasa recta. 2. 5 million nephrons per kidney is about 5 cm.
