6.  Location and structure  against the dorsal body wall  at the level of the T 12 to L 3 vertebrae  right kidney is slightly lower than the left  It is crowded by the liver  renal hilum  medial indentation where structures enter or exit the kidney (ureters, renal blood vessels, and nerves)  An adrenal gland sits atop each kidney © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

7. 12th rib (b)

8.  Protective tissue structures: (from deep to superficial)  Enclosed by a fibrous connective tissue capsule  Lies directly on the kidney  Protects from infection  Perirenal fat capsule surrounds the kidney and cushions against blows  Renal fascia is the outermost capsule  anchors the kidney and adrenal gland to surroundings  Pararenal fat capsule surrounds renal fascia © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

9.  Three kidney regions 1. Renal cortex—outer region 2. Renal medulla—deeper region  Renal (medullary) pyramids—triangular regions of tissue  Renal columns—extensions of cortex-like material  separate the pyramids 3. Renal pelvis—medial region; flat, funnel-shaped tube  Calyces—extensions of the renal pelvis  enclose the renal pyramids  collect urine and send it to the renal pelvis>ureter>urinary bladder  Nephrons comprise the bulk of cortex and medulla and are made of specialized endothelial and/or epithelial tissues © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

13.  One-quarter of the total blood supply of the body passes through the kidneys each minute  The abdominal aorta supplies the renal artery  Renal artery  provides each kidney with arterial blood supply  Renal artery divides into smaller vessels  Renal vein  Smaller vessels get bigger to supply renal vein  Renal vein returns blood to the inferior vena cava © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

15.  Responsible for forming urine  Two main structures of a nephron: 1. Renal corpuscle – includes: 1. glomerulus, Bowman’s capsule, podocytes 2. Renal tubule – includes: 1. proximal convoluted tubule 2. Loop of Henle 3. distal convoluted tubule © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

17.  2 locations for nephrons:  Cortical nephrons  Located entirely in the cortex  Include most nephrons  Juxtamedullary nephrons  Found at the boundary of the cortex and medulla  Nephron loop dips deep into the medulla © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

19.  Each nephron has two capillary beds: 1. Glomerulus 1. fed and drained by the afferent/efferent arterioles 2. High pressure - for filtration 2. Peritubular capillaries 1. Drains the glomerulus 2. Low pressure and porous - for absorption © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.
