Question
Chapter 24, Problem 1CRQ
Summary Introduction
To label: The indicated structure on the given diagram of the renal corpuscle and describe the function of this structure.
Introduction: The nephron is the functional unit of the kidney. It is composed of two parts. These are the renal tubule and renal corpuscle. The function of the renal corpuscle is to transport the water and dissolved solutes from the glomerular capillaries to the capsular space.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1CRQ
Pictorial representation: Fig.1 represents renal corpuscle structure indicating efferent arteriole.
Fig.1: Structure of renal corpuscle indicating efferent arteriole.
Explanation of Solution
The renal corpuscle is composed of two types of arteriole. These two types are the afferent arteriole and the efferent arteriole. The efferent arteriole has a relatively smaller diameter than the afferent arteriole. The function of the efferent arteriole is to deliver the blood to the peritubular capillaries. It also increases the blood pressure of the glomerulus.
