TO MAINTAIN HOMEOSTASIS

LONGITUDINAL SECTION OF A KIDNEY

 DISCUSSION CLUES

• What are parts of a kidney?

• What is pelvis?
 CONSOLIDATION

• Medulla, cortex, renal artery, renal vein,

ureter and pelvis are the parts of a kidney.

Region where the urine is collected fro the

filters is called pelvis.

STRUCTURE OF A NEPHRON
 DISCUSSION CLUES

• What are the parts of a nephron?

 CONSOLIDATION

• Peritubular capillaries, collecting duct,

renal tubules and bowman's capsule are the

parts of a nephron.
STRUCTURE OF A BOWMAN’S CAPSULE
 DISCUSSION CLUES

• What is bowman’s capsule?

• What are the types of blood vessels?

 CONSOLIDATION

• Double walled cup seen around the

glomerulus is called bowman’s capsule.

• Afferent vessel and efferent vessel are the

blood vessels seen in the bowman’s capsule.

 Name the following:
• Glomerulus is distributed……….
• Renal artery entering the bowman’s capsule
is……..
• Urine is collected from filters into……….
• The space between the two walls of bowman’s
capsule is……….
• BOWMAN’S CAPSULE
• AFFERENT VESSEL
• PELVIS
• CAPSULAR SPACE
 Extended activity:

• Prepare a model of a section of a kidney using

improvised materials.
