these pumps are in the proximal convoluted tubule

Na/K-ATPase, AQP-1

which molecules cannot get through the GFB, examples

large and positively charged molecules, hemoglobin and albumin

the thick segment of the loop of henle allows sodium to be

actively transported out of the loop of henle

the distal convoluted tubules are

arched collecting tubules or connecting tubules

the podocyte feet attached to the ______ of capillaries

basement membrane

the loop of henle goes into the ____ to enter ___, and then leaves the ____ and makes contact with the ____ enters the ___

cortex in the medullary rays, the vicinity of its renal corpuscle of origin, medullary rays, vascular pole of its parent renal corpuscle

the distal convoluted tubules are part of the

cortical labyrinth

the distal convoluted tubules empty into the ___ and then empty into the _____ which are _____, which then ____ which empties into the ____ and then the _____

cortical labyrinth, cortical collecting ducts, located in the medullary ray, empty into the minor calyx, renal pelvis, ureter

the proximal convoluted tubule is lined by these cells

cuboidal which endocytose, brush border, junctional complex, plicae

the thick ascending limb is also called the

distal straight tubule

the macula densa is formed by the

epithelial cells of the tubule adjacent to the afferent arteriole of the glomerulus

a molecules that enters the capsular space has to go through the, and is essentially

fenestrated endothelium, glomerular basement membrane (molecular sieve, fused endothelial and epithelial basement membrane), double-filtered

the podocytes make ___ when they ____

filtration slits, interdigitate

the glomerular filtration unit is made up of (3)
