Document Summary
Functions to clear the blood of the waste products from metabolism and to regulate the concentrations of many constituents of the body fluids: consists of two kidneys and excretory passages to store and conduct excreted materials. The nephron: epithelia-lined tube that associates with the blood supply. Renal medulla: all the tubules are running parallel to each other with some capillaries (vasa recta) in between tubules belong to loop of henle. Renal papillae at the tip of the pyramid opens up into a minor calyx, which leads into a major calyx. Uriniferous tubule: refers to the nephron plus its associated collecting duct, the collecting duct branches multiple times and connects to multiple nephrons. Thick descending limb has a cuboidal epithelium. Bowman"s capsule: renal corpuscles have two poles, vascular pole where blood enters/exits; where the distal convoluted tubule reaches back to communicate with the renal corpuscle.
