Document Summary

Two distinct regions: renal cortex renal medulla protect kidneys. Histology of the nephron and collecting duct glomerulus (capillary network) capsule; forms inner wall of capsule of the glomerular capsule. Inflammation of the kidney that involves the glomeruli recently infected another part of the body (throat) cells and proteins to enter into the filtrate. Renal tubule and collecting duct capsule and then into the renal tubule peritubular capillaries and vasa recta in the renal tubules and collecting ducts macula densa types: Filtered substances move from the bloodstream through 3 barriers: Glomerular filtration filtrate. formed by glomerular capillaries and podocytes else wrap around each glomerulus filtration slits spaces between the pedicels that only allow molecules smaller than 0. 006-0. 007 m to pass. Use of pressure to force fluids and solutes through a membrane: glomerular capillaries present a large surface area for filtration. The mesangial cells regulate how much of this surface area is available for filtration: the filtration membrane is thin and porous.
