|
low-pressure, porous capillaries adapted for absorption
• arise from efferent arterioles • cling to adjacent renal tubules • empty into renal venous system |
|
Locate the VASA RECTA
|
long, straight efferent arterioles connected to peritubular capillaries (15% of nephrons) that flow Loops of Henle into medulla

• located in cortex of kidney • short Loop of Henle • efferent arteriole connects with peritubular capillaries |
|
Locate the JUXTAMEDULLARY NEPHRON
|
15% of nephrons
• long loops of Henle extend deep into medulla • peritubular capillaries (surround convoluted tubules) connect to vasa recta (long, straight capillaries parallel with loop of Henle) |
