Distinguish between a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule.
A renal corpuscle is the cluster of capillaries (glomerulus) and saclike structure (glomerular capsule) that surrounds it; a renal tubule is the coiled tube that leads away from the glomerular capsule and empties into collecting duct.
List the following structures to indicate their respective positions in relation to the nephron starting with the structure nearest the glomerulus.
ASCENDING LIMB OF NEPHRON LOOP, renal papilla, PROXIMAL CONVOLUTED TUBULE, distal convoluted tubule, GLOMERULAR CAPSULE, collecting duct, DESCENDING LIMB OF NEPHRON LOOP.
Glomerular capsule
Proximal convoluted
