renal veins
What % of blood pumped by the heart passes through the kidneys in one min?
20%
Fatty tissue surrounding the outter kidney is the?
Renal capsule
Renal cortex is:
The outter part of the substance of the kidney. (composed of glomeruli and convoluted tubules)
Renal Medulla is:
deep to the cortx
Renal pyramids:
is a subdivision of the renal medulla. (triangular region)
Renal pelvis
where all the calyses collect
Renal Papilla
Tip of the renal pyramids (pointing towards centre o kidney)
Renal Calyses has TWO functions:
1. Collects fluid that comes out of the renal papilla
2. Cup like structure that holds renal pyramids

Describe the circulation of bloo through the kidneys and nephrons:
Blood enters the RENAL ARTERY > goes to the > AFFERENT ARTERIOLS (which are thicker then efferent) into the > GLOMERULUS > EFFERENT ARTERIOLS > PERITUBULAR CAPILLARIES > RENAL VEIN
What is the THREE process of urine?
1. Filtration
2. Reabsorption
3. Secreation
What happens in the Filtration process?
Is fluid that has been filtered through the walls of the glomerulus and Bowmans capsule
What happens in resbsorption process:
Peritubular cappilaries reabsorbing fluid (This is passive transport)
What happens in the secretion process?
Peritubule cappillaries putting things into distal convoluted tubule/ (this is active transport)
What is the function of the juxtaglomerular appartus?
It is the joining of the Distal convolouted Tubual (DCT) and afferent arterioles
What is the function of the MACULA DENSA?
Specialization and enlargin of cell walls where the Distal Convoluted Tuble and afferent arterioles join.
What is the function of the ureters?
Moves urine from kidney to bladder.
the function of the male uretha is?
tied with the reproductive system

shorter than males
