Although most efferent arterioles drain into the peritubular capillaries, some send blood to this network of blood vessels found where? (Name and location)
What is vasa recta, found in the renal medulla supplying the nephron loop
This type of epithelium makes up the outer layer of the glomerular capsule.
What is simple squamous epithelium?
One of the following is NOT a basic function of the kidneys: helps stimulate red blood cell production, detoxifies cancer-causing molecules like H2O2, convert amino acids into glucose, and directs lymphocytes for blood pathogen removal.
What is directs lymphocytes for blood pathogen removal?
The renal fascia and fibrous capsule work together to stop the kidneys from doing what?
What is moving around/falling when standing up?

For the majority of blood, what comes immediately before and what comes immediately after the capillaries of renal circulation?
What is the peritubular capillaries and cortical radiate (interlobular) veins?
Which of the following is NOT part of the renal tube: nephron loop, distal convoluted tubule, glomerular capsule
Which of the following do kidneys NOT assist in regulating: blood volume, blood temperature, blood pressure, blood electrolytes.
What is blood temperature?
Regarding kidney structure, which of the following is in the middle of the other two (superficial to deep): renal cortex, renal pyramids, major calyx
What is renal pyramids?
Put these arteries into order of blood flow: interlobar arteries, arcuate arteries, segmental arteries, renal artery, cortical radiate arteries
What are renal artery, segmental arteries, interlobar arteries, arcuate arteries, cortical radiate arteries?
Order these in terms of blood flow: arcuate veins, renal vein, inferior vena cava, interlobar veins, cortical radiate veins
What is cortical radiate veins, arcuate veins, interlobar veins, renal vein, inferior vena cava?
This shape describes the nephron tube.
What is "U"-shaped?

What is the right kidney, to avoid the larger right liver lobe?
If my right kidney has 7 lobes, how many renal pyramids does it have?
What is 7?
This is the locational difference between interlobar and arcuate arteries.
What is interlobar arteries go between renal pyramids, whereas arcuate arteries go above renal pyramids?
This is a structure found in kidneys in abundance that consists of the renal corpuscle and renal tubule
What is a nephron?
These are two structural differences between the proximal and distal convoluted tubules
The slit in the medial concave area of the kidney that receives renal nerves, blood vessels, lymph, and ureter
What is the hilum?

What is renal pyramid, minor calyx, major calyx, renal pelvis, ureter?
In terms of blood flow, afferent arterioles come before and efferent arterioles come after what structure?
What is the glomerulus?
Where can podocytes be found?
What is in the inner layer of the glomerular capsule, where they wrap around the capillaries of the glomerulus?
What is a juxtamedullary nephron?
