    Study Notes

    Urinary System

    • The urinary system consists of the kidney, collecting ducts, ureter, and blood vessels.

    Kidney Structure

    • The kidney consists of the cortex (F) and medulla (E).
    • The renal cortex is the outer layer of the kidney.
    • The renal medulla is the inner layer of the kidney.
    • The kidney contains collecting ducts (C) and blood vessels (B and A).

    Nephrons

    • Nephrons are the functional units of the kidney.
    • Nephrons are composed of renal corpuscles.

    Renal Corpuscles

    • Renal corpuscles are the functional units of nephrons.
    • Renal corpuscles are found in the renal cortex.
