Schema of nephron. This scheme depicts a short‐looped and a long‐looped nephron together with the collecting system. Not drawn to scale. Within the cortex a medullary ray is delineated by a dashed line.
Figure 2.
Schema of renal vessels. This scheme depicts the course and distribution of the intrarenal blood vessels; peritubular capillaries are not shown. Not drawn to scale. Within the cortex the medullary rays of the cortex (MR) are delineated from the cortical labyrinth (CL) by a dashed line. OS = outer stripe; IS = inner stripe; IM = inner medulla; P = renal pelvis.
