structure of nephron
- 2 types of nephron
- Cotical
- 85% mostly within the cortex, peritubular capillaries (network
surrounding entire nephron
- 85% mostly within the cortex, peritubular capillaries (network
surrounding entire nephron
- Juxtanedullary
- The juxtamedullary nephron extends deep into the medulla, peritubular capillaries and vasa
recta
- Capillary network with parallel
tube
- The juxtamedullary nephron extends deep into the medulla, peritubular capillaries and vasa
recta
- Cotical
- The nephron is the functional unit of the
kidney
- It is the region of urine
production
- The nephron spans both the cortex and the
medulla
- If the length of the medulla is greater, the urine concentration will also be
greater
- The nephron consists of the renal corpuscle and
the renal tubule
- Corpuscle
- Bowmans capsule and glomerular capillaries
- Bowmans capsule and glomerular capillaries
- Renal tubule
- Consists of the proximal convoluted tubule, loop of hence, descending convoluted tubule and the collecting
duct
- Consists of the proximal convoluted tubule, loop of hence, descending convoluted tubule and the collecting
duct
- Corpuscle
- Basic smallest functional unit of the
kidney
- It is the region of urine
production
