16
Q

location of cortex

A

superficial to the renal capsule

17
Q

function of glomerular capsule

A

first step in blood to urine filtration, location of macula densa and juxtaglomerular cells

18
Q

pathways for blood to go once in glomerular capsule

A

[macula densa cells] filter out Na, glucose, amino acids–enter Bowman’s capsular space–proximal tubule–descending loop of Henle–ascending loop of Henle–distal convoluted tubule–collecting duct–ureter

[juxtaglomerular cells] filter out WBCs, RBCs, platelets–efferent arteriole–peritubular capillaries–renal vein

19
Q

what makes up glomerular capsule?

A

glomerulus + Bowman’s capsule

20
Q

function of proximal convoluted tubule

A

reabsorption of water, impermeable to other stuff

21
Q

function of distal convoluted tubule

A

reabsorption of Na, Cl, glucose

22
Q

location of proximal convoluted tubule

A

closest to glomerulus, following pathway of blood through nephron–comes right after glomerulus

23
Q

location of distal convoluted tubule

A

after ascending loop of Henle

24
Q

function of descending loop of henle

A

permeable to water, impermeable to solutes, concentrates filtrate as it goes down (more salty)

25
what tissue makes up descending loop of henle
simple squamous epithelial
26
what tissue makes up the ascending loop of henle
cuboidal epithelium
