PRE-LAB QUESTIONS Answer by reading the lab manual before coming to lab! A. List in order the structures of the nephron and the kidney tubule system that urine passes Name through from its site of formation as filtrate to the renal pelvis. B. What two structures make up the juxtaglomerular apparatus? and C. List in order the vessels the blood flows through from the renal artery to the renal vein D, what is the usual blood pressure in the glomerulus? l. How does this compare with the pressure in other capillary beds? Urinary Syster

Explanation / Answer

A) Renal tubule

proximal convoluted tubule

descending nephron loop

ascending nephron loop

distal convoluted tubule

collecting duct

minor calyx

B) juxtaglomerular cells and macula densa

C) Renal artery

interlobar arteries

arcuate arteries

afferent arterioles

glomerular capilaries

efferent arterioles

peritubular capillaries

interlobular veins

arcuate veins

interlobar veins

renal veins

D) The usual blood pressure in the glomerulus is 55 mmHg.

1. It is high as compared to the blood pressure in other capillary beds because it is specialized to carry out the process of filtration.
