- 7. These types of nephrons make up 20% of the total nephron population
- 10. What fluid is filtered at the glomerulus?
- 11. These arteries branch from the segmental arteries and pass the medullary pyramids towards the cortex
- 12. Describes the capillaries that interact with Bowman's capsule (Hint! Stems from the latin word for ball of thread)

- 1. The functional unit of the kidney
- 3. This structure within the nephron is responsible for glucose, amino acid, and oligopeptide reabsorption
- 4. This structure surrounds the glomerulus and serves as a point of diffusion for blood plasma
- 5. This term describes endothelial cells with small openings in their walls
- 8. This term describes the fluid and small solutes that pass into the capsular space
- 9. These types of nephrons make up 80% of the total nephron population
- 13. The reabsorption of this organic compound occurs in the Medullary Collecting Duct and is controlled by the release of ADH
