Document Summary
One on either side of the spine. Concave surface of the kidneys faces the spine. Outer shell of the periphery of the organ. Located in the cortex and the medulla. Each has a collecting duct which drains into the renal pelvis, then to the ureter, which goes to the bladder. Sits right on top of the kidneys. There are arterioles and venules that go up through the medulla, and at the interface between the medulla and the cortex they make these ribbons of vasculature. Afferent arterioles and glomeruli are all found in the. Renal artery arterioles glomeruli gives blood to the nephrons capillary beds venules renal veins. Blood flow through the kidneys uses a portal system. This region of the nephron is important for regulation of blood flow into the nephron. Flow through the ja regulates blood flow in the glomerulus. The efferent arteriole is branched into a capillary bed.
