Urine forming structure of kidney

Nephron
Region of the kidney deep to cortex; contains collecting ducts

Renal Medulla
Extensions of renal cortex found in between renal pyramids

Renal Columns
Urine flowing through this structure drains into a minor calyx

Papillary Duct
Located between renal fascia and renal capsule

Adipose Capsule
Apex of renal pyramid

Renal Papilla
Urine flowing through this structure drains into the renal pelvis

Major Calyx
Vertical fissure in concave surface of kidney through which blood vessels and ureters pass

Renal Hilum
Covers outer surface of kidney

Renal Capsule
Dense irregular connective tissue that covers the adipose capsule and attaches the kidney to the abdominal wall

Renal Fascia
Receives urine from the major calyces

Renal Pelvis
Space within kidney that is adjacent to renal medulla, contains calyces and renal pelvis

Renal Sinus
Cup-like structure that is located in renal sinus that receives urine from openings of papillary ducts

Minor Calyx
Cone shaped structures located within the renal medulla

Renal Pyramids
Outermost region of the kidney, contains renal corpuscles

Renal Cortex
Detrusor muscle is the main muscle for this structure

Urinary Bladder
Region of the male urethra that passes through the prostate gland

Prostatic Urethra
Two openings in posterior urinary bladder wall

Ureteral Openings
Region of male urethra that passes through penis

Sponge, Penile Urethra
Area bounded by ureteral openings and internal urethral orific

Trigone
Voluntary skeletal muscle in urogenital diaphragm that allows passage of urine to exterior of body

External Urethral Sphincter
Carries urine from renal pelvis to urinary bladder

Ureter
Urine is excreted through this opening

External Urethral Orifice
Circular smooth muscle that involuntarily controls passage of urine from the urinary bladder to the urethra

Internal Urethral Sphincter
Anterior opening in urinary bladder that leads into urethra

Internal Urethral Orifice
Region of male urethra that passes through urogenital diaphragm

Membranous Urethra
Blood vessel that delivers blood to glomerulus

Afferent Arteriole
Blood from the efferent arteriole flows into this capillary bed

Peritubular Capillary Bed
Structure that surrounds glomerulus and collects filtrate

Bowman's Capsule
Section of renal tubule that descends into medulla

Loop of Henle
Capillary network within the renal corpuscle

Glomerulus
Structure composed of glomerulus and glomerular capsule

Renal Corpuscle
Blood vessel that drains blood from glomerulus

Efferent Arteriole
Capillary loops that extends from the efferent arteriole and run along loop of Henle of juxtamedullary nephrons

Vasa Recta
Trace the flow of filtrate and urine through the urinary system

Glomerulus -> Capsular Space -> PCT -> Loop of Henle -> DCT -> Collecting Duct -> Papillary Duct -> Minor Calyx -> Major Calyx -> Renal Pelvis -> Ureter -> Urinary Bladder -> Urethra -> External Urethral Orifice
Trace blood flow through the kidneys

Renal Artery -> Segmental Artery -> Interlobular Artery -> Arcuate Artery -> Interlobar Artery -> Afferent Arteriole -> Glomerulus -> Efferent Arteriole -> Peritubular Capillary -> Interlobar Vein -> Arcuate Vein -> Interlobular Vein -> Renal Vein
