• Renal corpuscle
– What are the two components of the renal corpuscle?
• Renal tubule
– Trace the pathway filtrate takes through the nephron and collecting
system from the capsular space to the papillary space.

a) Main blood vessels in the kidney. b) Post-glomerular blood vessels. The efferent arteriole of most nephrons, such as the one shown here
The renal artery and renal vein on the left, divides to become the peritubular capillaries, which supply proximal and distal tubules in
branch many times to deliver the cortex. In a few nephrons, such as the one on the right, the efferent arteriole descends into the
blood to each glomerulus. medulla to become the vasa recta, which supply loops of Henle.

Tubular reabsorption:
Water, amino acids,
glucose, most ions
(including bicarbonate),
and some urea are
reabsorbed back into the
Artery Vein peritubular capillaries,
primarily in the proximal
tubule but also in other
nephron segments.
