Everything about The Renal Medulla totally explained
The
renal medulla is the innermost part of the
kidney. The renal medulla is split up into a number of sections, known as the
renal pyramids. Blood enters into the kidney via the renal artery, which then splits up to form the arcuate arterioles. The
arcuate arterioles each in turn branch into interlobar arterioles, which finally reach the
glomeruli. At the glomerulus the blood reaches a highly disfavourable pressure gradient and a large exchange surface area, which forces the
serum portion of the blood out of the vessel into the renal tubules. Flow continues through the renal tubules, including the proximal tubule, the
Loop of Henle, and finally leaves the kidney by means of the
collecting duct, leading to the renal urethra.
