| Loop of Henle | In the medulla. 2 parts: descending and ascending limbs |
| DCT Distil Convoluted Tubule | in cortex. far from bowman's capsule, connects to ascending limb of Loop of Henle, and to the collecting duct |
| vasa recta | absolutely straight capillaries that run along and across the Loop of Henle. part of the peri-tubular capillaries. |
| Peri-tubular capillaries | capillaries that run all along and across the tubule running from the bowman's capsule |
| Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) | rate of filtrate production. the amount of blood filtered per unit time (min). |
| Acedosis | When your blood pH drops too low |
| Acidosis (compensatory mechanisms | increased respiration secretion of hydrogen ions (instead of potassium) re-absorbtion of bicarbonate |
