Study Notes
Renal Sinus Space
- Located within the kidney, a space that houses the renal vasculature and neuronal structures
- Acts as a pathway for renal vessels and nerves to enter and exit the kidney
Urine Collecting Structures
- Consist of Minor and Major Calyces
- Minor Calyces: small, cup-like structures that surround the renal papillae and collect urine from the nephrons
- Major Calyces: larger, funnel-shaped structures that merge to form the Renal Pelvis
- Renal Pelvis: a narrow, funnel-shaped tube that collects urine from the Major Calyces and directs it to the ureter
