Kidney
(4x
objective lens)
-
This
low magnification view of the feline unipolar kidney shows the boundary between
the cortex (to the right) and the medulla
(to the left). The cortex contains renal corpuscles,
convoluted proximal and distal tubules, and collecting
tubules. The medulla contains thin segments of
the loops of Henle, collecting ducts and
papillary ducts (ducts of Bellini) [not seen in this section]. The descending
and ascending ascending segments of the loops of Henle are found in
both the cortex and medulla. Sections through arcuate arteries and arcuate
veins can be found at the cortex-medulla boundary.
