Document Summary

What are the structural components of the kidney? cortex (outside portion), medulla (inside portion) Peritubular capillaries or vasa recta afferent arteriole glomerulus (capillaries) efferent arteriole peritubular capillaries and vasa recta. Proximal convoluted tubule -reabsorption of ions, amino acids, glucose, na+, h2o (65% of the reabsorption) Distal convoluted tubule- reabsorption of other ions, na+, cl- Loop of henle (descending limb- reabsorbs h20, ascending limb -impermeable to h2o, reabsorbs nutrients (na+, cl-, k+) Collecting ducts - reabsorbs h20, urea (to increase osmolarity in the medulla to drive h2o reabsorption in the loop (recycling)) Movement of materials from the glomerulus into bowman"s capsule. Of plasma filtered (water, salts, glucose, amino acids, small moles, vitamins) Left of plasma comes out of efferent arteriole. Retrieval of various nutrients (h2o, glucose, nacl) from the proximal convoluted tubule into the peritubular capillaries. Movement of water from the collecting ducts into the peritubular capillaries or vasa recta.
