Document Summary

External urethral sphincter muscle fibrous capsule of kidney. Describe the structure of the nephron including the function of each component: afferent and efferent arteriole, glomerulus, bowman"s capsule, pct, nephron loop, dct collecting duct, glomerulus: a thick tangle of capillary loops(fenestrated capillaries). Blood enters through an afferent arteriole and exits by an efferent arteriole. Blood is filtered and h2o, hormones, and ions are filtered out: bowman"s capsule: surrounds the glomerulus, and creates a capsular space to catch filtrate, proximal convoluted tubule (pct): simple cuboidal epithelium. Antidiuretic hormone: intercalated cells: help regulate blood and urine ph. i. ii. Secretion from peritubular capillaries: collecting duct: projects through pyramid and empties into renal papilla, made of simple cuboidal epithelium, principal and intercalated cells for absorption and some secretion. Describe the process of filtration that is occurring within the glomerulus (3 structures that filter and the driving force)
