Contains aldosterone- stimulates exchange of k+ (secreted into lumen)for na+ (na+ reabsorbed into vasculature/water follows) Area of dense cell distribution and cells are all lined up, start of dct, always shown on renal corpuscle at vascular pole. Arteriole that drains the tuft of capillaries of the bowman"s capsule. The branches of the podocyte help form the _____ _____ of the glomerulus basement membrane. Wall permeability controlled by vasopressin (same thing as antidiuretic hormone, adh) Collecting tubule/duct function to hold all components of the renal corpuscle together. ____ ____ has charge and filtration properties which restricts what filtrate can pass through into the bowman"s space basement membrane. If you see a renal corpuscle you know that you are within the _____ of the kidney. renin cortex. Vascular pole (macula densa, which is a part of. _____ _____ of the glomerulus is located between the podocyte extensions and the very thin layer of the simple squamous endothelia.
