        papillary ducts
        
        minor calyx
        
        major calyx
        
        renal pelvis

        principal cells
        
        intercalated cells
        
        delivers urine to minor calyces
        
        cells functions
        
        principal cells maintain water and Na+ balance
        
        intercalated cells regulate blood/urine pH
      - renal corpuscle
        
        glomerulus
        
        glomerulus capsule
      - renal tubule
        
        proximal convoluted tubule
        
        nephron loop
        
        distal convoluted tubule
      - filtration unit of U.S
      - capsule space receives filtrate, forms urine
- - - - contains glomerulus capsule
        
        permeable visceral layer
        
        external parietal layer that is impermiable
        
        capsule space between layers
      - contains glomerulus
        
        tangle of capillary loops
  - - - has three parts
        
        proximal convoluted tubule
        
        first region of renal tubule
        
        lined by simple cuboidal epithelium
        
        contains microvilli
        
        increased surface tension and reabsorption
        
        nephron loop
        
        two types
        
        short loop (cortical nephron)
        
        85% of nephrons
        
        thin segment of loop is simple squamous
        
        thick loop segment is simple cuboidal epithelium
        
        barely penetrates medulla
        
        long loop (juxtamedullary nephrons
        
        goes deep into medulla
        
        important in producing concentrated urine
        
        distal convoluted tubule
        
        lined by simple cuboidal epithelium
        
        no microvilli
- - - - increase risk of bone fractures
        
        high fragility
- - - - glucose is not moved into cells from blood
        
        insulin resistant
- - - - heart is working harder to move blood throughout the body
- - - - if blood flow to the kidney's renal arteries is afflicted by this
        
        they can be damaged and the kidney tissue will lack blood supply
        
        Kidney tissue may not function, and may die
        
        Kidneys will also not be able to properly filter blood or fluid in body
- - - - inadequate amounts of phosphorus, calcium, vit D, ects
        
        continually increase osteoporosis issues in the body's bone mass
