Acute Renal Failure
Structure and Function of the

Renal Lecture Required Picture #1
Renal blood flow
Aorta Renal artery
interlobar arteries
interlobular arteries
afferent arterioles
glomerulus efferent
arterioles

peritubular capillaries
➢ In the juxtamedullary
region vasa recta
➢ Back to the heart through
the interlobular
intralobar renal veins
➢
Glomerular Filtration Rate
➢

pressure within the nephron
➢ Hydrostatic pressure in the glomerulus is
higher than in the tubule, so you get a net
outflow of filtrate into the tubul...
