The kidneys: structure: urine production starts in the cortex, leaves via papilla, minor calyx, major calyx, renal pelvis, funnel, ureter drains into the bladder. Blood supply to kidneys: renal artery, to segmental arteries to interlobar arteries, to arcuate cortical radiate arteries, to afferent arterioles, deliver blood to capillaries supplying site of, corresponding veins run alongside arteries filtration. Nephron: functional unit of the kidney in, cortex, medulla, makes urine, renal corpuscle, bowman"s capsule, glomerulus, capillary network, renal tubule, proximal convoluted tubule, loop of henle, distal convoluted tubule, drain into collecting tubules. Renal corpuscle: site of filtration, water and solutes removed from blood, enter capsule, afferent arterioles carry blood to glomerular capillaries, efferent arterioles carry blood away. Renal tubule: surrounded by capillaries, site of reabsorption, water and solutes removed from filtrate, re-enter the blood, site of secretion, additional solutes removed from the blood, enter the renal tubule.
