  • A kidney contains a hallow renal sinus
  • The ureter expands into the renal pelvis, which is divided into major and minor calyces
  • Renal papillae project into the renal sinus
  • Kidney tissue is divided into a medulla and a cortex

  • Main Function - regulate the volume, composition, and pH of body fluids
  • Kidneys remove metabolic wastes from the blood and excrete them to the outside
  • Helps control the rate of red bloods cell formation by secreting the hormone erythropoietin, regulate blood pressure by secreting the enzyme renin, and regulate absorption of calcium

  • Consists of of renal corpuscle  and a renal tubule 
    • -  The corpuscle  consists of a glomerulus and a glomerular capsule
    - Portions of the renal tubule include the proximal convoluted tubule, the nephrons loops (ascending and descending limbs), and the distal convoluted tubule 
    • The nephrons join a collecting duct , which empties into the minor calyx of the renal pelvis 
    • The Juxtagulomerular apparatus  is located at the point of contact between the distal convoluted tubule and the afferent and efferent arterioles
    - Consists of the macula densa and the juxtaglomerular cells.
