Across
  1. 4. helps regulate filtrate formation and systemic blood pressure
  2. 5. interlobular arteries that are branches of arcuate arteries
  3. 8. intertwined around PCT and DCT (reside in cortex of kidney)
  4. 10. how blood enters glomerulus
  5. 13. capillary network within the renal corpuscle of kidney
  6. 15. originates at sharp bend in PCT
  7. 16. 2-5 funnel shaped, formed when minor calyces merge
  8. 18. proximal convoluted tubule, originates at tubular pole of renal corpuscle
  9. 20. how blood exits glomerulus
  10. 21. expandable muscular organ, serves as reservoir for urine
  11. 22. mucosal folds that allow for distension in urinary bladder walls
  12. 24. anchors kidney to surrounding structures
  13. 26. functional filtration unit in the kidney (microscopic)
  14. 28. long epithelial fibromuscular tubes that transport urine from kidneys to urinary bladder
  15. 29. 8-15 funnel shaped, connected to renal pyramid
  16. 30. branch of interlobar arteries, parallel to base of medullary pyramid
  17. 31. extensions of cortex and project into medulla
  18. 32. where cortex and medulla meet
  19. 33. glomerular capscule formed by visceral and parietal layer with a space that receives filtrate
  20. 34. merges at medial edge of kidney with the ureter
  21. 35. project through renal medulla toward papilla before emptying into papillary ducts
Down
  1. 1. straight vessels associated with nephron loop (reside in medulla of kidney)
  2. 2. originates in renal cortex at end of nephron loop, smaller with sparse, short microvilli
  3. 3. dense irregular tissue that maintains kidney shape, trauma protection, fights infectious pathogens
  4. 6. arises from abdominal aorta
  5. 7. outermost layer of kidney that stabilizes and cushions
  6. 9. formed from merging of interlobar veins, drains blood into inferior vena cava
  7. 11. medially directed tip of renal pyramid
  8. 12. modified epithelial cells in wall of distal convoluted tubule, detect changes in NaCl concentration and signal granular cells
  9. 14. concave medial border where vessels, nerves, and ureter connect to kidney
  10. 17. branch of segmental arteries, within renal lobes
  11. 19. cushions and stabilizes kidney
  12. 23. modified smooth muscle cells of afferent arteriole that contract and synethsize/store/release renin
  13. 25. extension of renal columns with base that lies at external edge of medulla
  14. 27. branch of renal artery
