A large fat-filled space within the kidney that also contains the renal pelvis, blood vessels, and nerves.

• Sinus

Which of the following is NOT in the renal corpuscle?

• The nephron loop

An important difference between a cuboidal epithelial cell of the proximal versus the distal convoluted tubules is that

• The proximal tubule cells have long microvilli that are fewer than or absent from the distal tubule cells.

An important difference between the peritubular capillaries and the vasa recta in the kidney is that

• The vasa recta are in the medulla, whereas the peritubular capillaries are in the cortex.
