-
the Loop of Henle, this structure that
-
stretches down through the cortex into the medulla and then back up again,
-
and the distal convoluted tubule which is farther from the glomerulus
-
and empties into the collecting duct which
-
then moves down through the cortex, through the medulla,
-
and into this region of the renal pelvis
-
where all the collecting ducts empty into the ureter
-
and then onto the bladder.
-
A filtrate of plasma is produced here in the glomerulus
-
and as this filtrate of plasma, this fluid
-
that is going to be urine at some point, moves through this series of tubules,
-
it gets processed, it gets modified, it gets changed.
