renal medulla

The renal medulla is the innermost part of the kidney.

In humans, osmolytes are of particular importance in the renal medulla.

It is located at the border of the renal cortex and renal medulla.

The renal medulla is split up into a number of sections, known as the renal pyramids.

The loop has a sharp bend in the renal medulla going from descending to ascending thin limb.

The renal medulla is incapable of producing glucose due to absence of necessary enzymes.

The medullary interstitium is the tissue surrounding the loop of Henle in the renal medulla.

NFAT5 deficient mice were found to suffer from massive cell loss in the renal medulla.

Thus, the renal medulla is constantly on the brink of dysoxia owing to high demand and low delivery of oxygen.

The renal medulla is hypertonic to the filtrate in the nephron and aids in the reabsorption of water.

They are named after the fact that they are shaped in arcs due to the nature of the shape of the renal medulla.

It can be divided into two parts: that in the renal medulla, and that in the renal cortex.

The renal cortex is the outer portion of the kidney between the renal capsule and the renal medulla.

Additionally VR are located in brain, testis, superior cervical ganglion, liver, blood vessels, and renal medulla.

It is these nephrons which are responsible for the development of the osmotic gradients in the renal medulla, which are used to concentrate urine.

The substance, or parenchyma, of the kidney is divided into two major structures: superficial is the renal cortex and deep is the renal medulla.

Tissue osmolarity increases from cortex (outer layar of a nephron), to inner renal medulla (middle layer of a nephron).

By disrupting the reabsorption of these ions, loop diuretics prevent the urine from becoming concentrated and disrupt the generation of a hypertonic renal medulla.

It contains the renal corpuscle and the renal tubule except for parts of the loop of Henle which descend into the renal medulla.

HUT11 was detected on endothelial cells of the vasa recta (vascular supply of the renal medulla) but it is not present in renal tubules.

Oxygen diffuses from the descending to ascending vasa recta within the vascular bundles limiting oxygen delivery to the renal medulla [ 52].

The "cortical collecting ducts" receive filtrate from multiple initial collecting tubules and descend into the renal medulla to form medullary collecting ducts.

Painless gross hematuria occurs with a higher frequency in sickle trait than in sickle cell disease and likely results from infarctive episodes in the renal medulla.

In the mammalian kidney about 15% of glomeruli lie close to the boundary between the renal cortex and renal medulla and are known as juxtamedullary glomeruli.

Medullary refers to the renal medulla, while the juxta (Latin: near) refers to the relative position of the renal corpuscle, which in these nephrons is near the medulla.
