| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| area of cortical tissue running between the medullary pyramids = | renal column |
| site of filtration formation = | glomerulus |
| primary site of tubular reabsorption = | proximal convoluted tubule |
| secondarily important site of tubular reabsorption = | distal convoluted tubule |
What is the name of the area tissue found between the renal medullary pyramids This area contains blood vessels?
renal cortex
renal cortex: The outer region of the kidney, between the renal capsule and the renal medulla, that consists of a space that contains blood vessels that connect to the nephrons.
What structure separates medullary pyramids?
The medullary pyramids are located in the ventral region of the medulla oblongata. The anterior median fissure separates these two crest-shaped structures that run along the length of the medulla oblongata.
What is the cortical tissue that extends between the pyramids?
renal columns
Note that in addition to the cortical areas between the capsule and the bases of the pyramids, cortical tissue also extends between the pyramids. These areas are called the renal columns of Bertin. * Can be considered to be the expanded and invaginated end of the proximal convoluted tubule.
What are the parts of renal pyramid?
The pyramids consist mainly of tubules that transport urine from the cortical, or outer, part of the kidney, where urine is produced, to the calyces, or cup-shaped cavities in which urine collects before it passes through the ureter to the bladder. The point of each pyramid, called the papilla, projects into a calyx.
What is found between the kidney and urinary bladder?
The ureter connects the kidney and the urinary bladder.
Where are medullary pyramids?
The ventral portion of the medulla oblongata contains the medullary pyramids. These two ridge-like structures travel along the length of the medulla oblongata and are bordered medially by the anterior median fissure.
Which of the following give the medullary pyramids the appearance of striations?
The medulla consists of a number of medullary pyramids, named because of their triangular shape. These are striped in appearance because they contain microscopic coiled tubes called nephrons, the functional unit of the kidney .
Which part of the kidney extends into the renal medulla?
The hilum leads to a large cavity, called the renal sinus, within the kidney. The ureter and renal vein leave the kidney, and the renal artery enters the kidney at the hilum. The outer, reddish region, next to the capsule, is the renal cortex. This surrounds a darker reddish-brown region called the renal medulla.
Where are the kidney pyramids located in the body?
Separated into 6-18 triangular structures (renal pyramids) The base of each pyramid faces toward the cortex. Its pointed apex points to the innermost kidney region. Basinlike area of the kidney, continuous with the ureter. Two or three major calyces form to combine this structure. Large funnel shaped chamber in the center of the kidney.
Which is part of the renal corpuscle contains capillaries?
Spherical structure consisting of Glomerular (Bowmans) Capsule and a Glomerulus.Encapsulates the glomerular capillaries. A knot of capillaries. Capillary specialized for filtration. Cuplike part of the renal corpuscle. Forms the outer wall of the renal capsule. Covers the glomerulus. Separates the capsular and visceral epithelia.
Is the basement membrane attached to the epithelium?
Basement membrane that is attached to transitional epithelium. Musculair Layer of the bladder. Consists both of longitudinal smooth muscle and a circular layer of muscle. Triangular region of the bladder delineated by the opening of the uteters and the urethra.
