In this renal anatomy lecture, Professor Zach Murphy walks you through a detailed anatomical model presentation featuring the cross-section of the kidney, the nephron, and the glomerulus. This session sets the stage for understanding the structure-function relationships of renal physiology and will serve as your foundation for more complex topics. We begin by examining the gross anatomy of the kidney—highlighting the renal cortex, medulla, renal pyramids, calyces, and renal pelvis—before zooming in on the nephron, the kidney’s functional unit. The lecture then transitions into a breakdown of the nephron’s components, including Bowman’s capsule, the proximal convoluted tubule, the loop of Henle, the distal convoluted tubule, and the collecting duct, emphasizing their location and orientation within the cortex and medulla. We then focus on the glomerulus, discussing the vascular anatomy of the afferent and efferent arterioles, the glomerular capillaries, and the filtration barrier. This lays the groundwork for understanding glomerular filtration dynamics and renal blood flow in upcoming lectures.
