Cortex is the outside of the kidney; it is a reddish-brown with a granular appearance. It contains all the glomeruli and convoluted tubules.
Medulla is the inner part of the kidney; it is a light color and appears striated as a result of the parallel arrangement of loops of Henle, medullary collecting ducts and blood vessels. Outer medulla is closer to cortex; inner medulla is farther from the cortex
Each lobe has pyramid of medullary tissue and cortical tissue. The apex of the medullary pyramid forms the renal papilla which drains the urine to the minor calyx. The minor calyxes form the major calyx. Major calyxes lead to the renal pelvis. The renal pelvis is drained by ureter. Renal hilem is where the ureter, renal artery and vein, nerves and lymph vessels exit or enter the kidney.
Urinary Excretion Structures
Kidneys are bean-shaped organs, each about the size of a fist. They are located near the middle of the back, just below the rib cage, one on each side of the spine. Every day, a person's kidneys process about 200 quarts of blood to sift out about 2 quarts of waste products and extra water.
Adrenal glands are small, triangular glands located on top of both kidneys. There are two parts the outer region is called the adrenal cortex and the inner region is called the adrenal medulla. They influence blood pressure and sodium and water retention.
Renal cortex contains the blood filtering mechanism
Renal medulla contains the renal pyramids
Renal Pyramids are cone-shaped tissues of the kidney. The renal medulla is made up of 8 to 18 of these conical subdivisions. The broad base of each pyramid faces the renal cortex, and its apex, or papilla, points internally. The pyramids appear striped because they are formed by straight parallel segments of nephrons.
Nephrons
• About 1 million in each kidney
• Filter waste products, reabsorb nutrients and water, and secrete excess substances from the body
• Parts of the nephron
o Renal Tubule
Proximal convoluted tubule: collects filtrate from Bowman's capsule
Proximal straight tubule
Loop of Henle: has a thin descending and ascending limb and a thick ascending limb
Distal convoluted tubule
• Collecting tubule receives input from many different nephrons
• Types of Nephrons
o Cortical nephrons which contain the glomerulus further out in the cortex; loops of Henle only descend to outer medualla and have shorter loops. These nephrons account for 80% of all nephrons.
o Juxtaglomedulary nephrons sit next the medualla. They have long Loops of Henle that go down to the inner medualla. These account for 20% of all nephrons.
• Juxaglomerular Apparatus controls blood flow to the glomerulus to regulate filtration and absorption.
