Document Summary

Trace a drop of urine from the renal pelvis to the urethra. glomerular capillaries---> glomerular capsule--->proximal convoluted tubule--->descending loop of henle-- >loop of henle--->ascending loop of henle--->distal convoluted tubule--->collecting duct-->papillary duct-- Describe the anatomy of the nephron, including the vascular portion and the tubular portion. nephron=functional unit: about 1 million nephrons/kidney, glomerular=capillary network for filtration, bowman"s capsule, receives the filtrate, inflow to renal tubules, renal tubules, proximal tubule. Loop of henle: descending limb, thin ascending limb, thick ascending limb, can be short or long, distal convoluted tubule, cortical and. juxtamedullary nephron, cortical, short loop of henle, most numerous 80-85, juxtamedullary. Long loop extends into medulla: responsible for medullary osmotic gradient, both types produce urine. Describe the process of glomerular filtration and what pressure favors filtration and what pressures oppose filtration: glomerular filtration. 10. ) goes to the >papillary duct-->renal papilla-->minor calyx--->major calyx--->renal pelvis--
