URINARY SYSTEM
KIDNEY
Cortex is located below renal capsule.
Cortex that extends between renal pyramids is
called renal columns of Bertini.
Medulla consists of Renal pyramids.
Bases of pyramids are enveloped by cortex.
Cortex contains renal corpuscles, proximal and
distal parts of tubules.
Apices of renal pyramids are known as renal
papilla.
Renal papilla open to the renal pelvis via a
branch of a renal pelvis called a calyx.
Renal sinus-fatty supporting tissue between
medullary pyramids.
NEPHRONS

Renal corpuscle.
Renal tubule.
RENAL CORPUSCLE
Bowman`s Capsule:
Double layered covering for the glomerulus.
The layer close to the glomerulus is called the visceral
layer of the bowman`s capsule and the other one is called
the parietal layer.
The space between both the layers is called the urinary
space.
o Glomerulus:
Globular network of anastomosing capillaries.
Glomerular capillaries are invested by visceral layer
of bowman`s capsule. These cells are called podocytes.
They have finger like projections.
RENAL TUBULES
RENAL TUBULES

Extend from Bowmen`s capsule to collecting


duct.
PCT
Loop of Henle
DCT
PCT
Longest, most convoluted tube.
Found in renal cortex.
Simple cuboidal epithelium.
Brush border fills the lumen in a section.
Cytoplasm pink stained due to
mitochondria.
Less cells in a section than DCT.
LOOP OF HENLE
Descending limb:
Thin limb, concentrating limb.
Simple squamous epithelium.
Hairpin loop:
Simple squamous epithelium.
Ascending limb:
Thin ascending limb – Simple squamous epithelium.
Thick ascending limb – Simple cuboidal epithelium.
Long of Henle is closely associated with parallel capillary
loops – vasa recta, peritubular capillaries.
DCT
Shorter.
Less convulated.
Found in cortex.
No brush border.
Larger lumen comparing to PCT.
Small cells, more in a section.
COLLECTING DUCT
COLLECTING DUCT
Descend through the cortex in parallel bundles called medullary
rays.
Lined by columnar epithelium.
Pale stained.
No brush border.
Consist of 2 cell types:
intercalated cells [ I cells ]
principle cells.
Principal cells: Pale cytoplasm, short microvillus.
Actively reabsorb Na+, K+, H2O.
Intercalated cells :
Dark cytoplasm due to concentrated mitochondria,
ribosomes and vesicles.
Secrets H+ and reabsorbs HCO3.
Maintains acid base homeostasis.
JUXTAGLOMERULAR APPARATUS
Juxtaglomerular cells:
They are the epitheloid cells in the tunica media of the
afferent glomerular arteriole.
Release enzyme renin.
o Macula densa:
Modified DCT epithelium [ columnar cells ].
Sensitive to [ Na+] within DCT.
Low [ Na+] stimulate release of renin from juxtaglomerular
cells.
o Lacis cells [cells of polkissen]:
They are the polyhedral cluster of cells between the vascular
pole of nephron and the DCT.
They are likely to transmit sensory signals to JG cells through
gap junctions.
