forms stroma in reticular organs like lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow
regular dense connective tissue
closely packed parallel collagen fibres
found in areas where tension is exerted along axis of fibres

elastic dense connective tissue
combines strength with elasticity
recoils easily

whats the renal corpuscle
made up of glomerulus and bowmans capsule
where does blood enter the glomerulus
enters afferent arteriole and exits efferent arteriole
what doesnt enter the bowmans capsue
proteins as slit membrane between pedicels hold the medium sized protein back
amd the basal lamina of glomerulus holds large proteins back
proximal convoluted tubule
reabsorption back into blood- water, Na+, glucose, AA, Cl-, HCO3
secretion into tubular fluid- H+, NH4+, urea
lost of mitochondria present as energy needed for active transport
also microvilli fro large SA
where does water move in descending limb of loop of henle
out as medulla solute concentration increases
tubular fluid very concentrated at hairpin
ascending limb of LoH
NaCl diffuses into medulla interstitial at base
active transport of NaCl as you go up limb which creates salt conc grad so ascending limb is impermeable to water
distal convoluted tubule
reabsorption back in blood- Na+, water, Cl-
secretion- H+, K+ NH4+M, urea
collecting duct reabsorption back into blood
water- if ADH causes more aquaporin channels then more conc urine.
Na+- no ADH dilute urine
urea- recycling into base of LoH to increase solute conc
collecting duct secretion into tubular fluid
K+
H+- adjust blood pH
juxtamedullary nephron
15-20%
LoH extends deep into medulla so does this
