- Kidney anatomy and nephron function of the renal system lecture. Learning the anatomy of the kidney is essential when trying to under how disease processes affect the renal system.
The kidney is a vital organ that filters our blood. Various parts of the nephron are found within the renal cortex and renal medulla. The proximal convoluted tubule, distal convoluted tubule, and parts of the collecting ducts are found in the renal cortex. While the Loop of Henle is found completely in the renal medulla which (as you will see in the nephron physiology lecture) this plays an important role for how the urine becomes concentrated in the Loop on Henle.
The nephron is the functional part of the kidney that creates urine. Each kidney contains millions of nephrons that filters the blood to produce a substance called filtrate. The filtrate flows through the renal tubules of the nephron is reabsorbed and secreted back into the bloodstream (reabsorption) or out of the bloodstream into the filtrate (secretion).
Filtrate is created by the renal corpuscle which includes the glomerulus and Bowman's capsule. The glomerulus is supplied with blood from the afferent arteriole. Once the blood is filtered it leaves the glomerulus through the efferent arteriole which then turned into peritubuluar capillaries.
The filtrate then enters into the renal tubule where reabsorption and secretion occur in the various sections of tubules. Therefore, the filtrate flows from Bowman's capsule to Proximal Convoluted Tubule, Loop of Henle, Distal Convoluted Tubule, to the collecting ducts and then leaves the kidney as urine by flowing out of the nephron through the renal papilla to the minor and major calyx to the renal pelvis, ureters, bladder, and out via the urethra.
Other important structures of the kidney include: renal artery and vein which supply the kidney with blood and remove filtered blood from the kidney, renal pyramid (found in the renal medulla and contain parts of the nephron), renal columns (contains blood network of vessels), minor and major calyx etc.

Hello Kate :) Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this comment. I really appreciate. Also, thank you for recommending my videos. I wish you the best in your studies :)
owkyy,,,it so nice
I love how I pay for classes yet she explains it 10x better!
Same
She gets to the point
Hi sara,you are heaven sent,no one can sacrifice the way you do,did my nclex 26th july I made it first timer,I used to listen to your videos it was like my Netflix, wherever I had a chance whether walking to the market, to work,or even when doing my dishes,laundry and cooking, you are such an amazing person may God bless you and reward you abundantly lady,am from kenya,keep it up,the grace is sufficient
Nurse Sarah is America's nursing teacher! :) Thank you!
I know your videos are directed towards nursing students but I have been really struggling in my A&P class and comprehending the material. I decided to look into videos to see if being shown/taught different would help me understand. I stumbled on your videos and took notes/drew pictures, followed along and not once did I lose focus or not understand anything. Thank you so much, this has really helped me!!! I love how you break down everything, this is exactly what I needed.
I was having a hard time understanding the function of the kidney, but thanks to you I understand now how it works. You explained it so well. Thank you so much!God bless you and hope that you make more videos...
I have really bad ADHD, but Nurse Sarah always explains things really well :) thank you so much! I take my nclex on halloween. I've been heavily using her videos to study
Been a nurse for over eight years and still love watching these.
I love watching her. She is so explanatory in everything she goes over.
My dad was diagnosed with polycystic kidneys at age 17 (he's 48 now)
At age 46 he had a bilateral nephrectomy and his kidneys weighed 4kgs each and were 43cm long.
He was on Dialysis to filter his blood (he has a fistula).
Today he has a transplant kidney and he is alive and well :)
He was at 5% KF when he got the call and unfortunately I was working so I couldn't see him go, I honestly thought he would die.... Worst shift of my life but I'm glad he's ok now.
I also have kidney problems, I had a double ureter partial nephrectomy. I almost died from toxic poisoning through the blood/lack of oxygen.
The worst part of my life, I suffered from pneumonia and anorexia after surgery but I'm ok now apart for the occasional UTI and kidney infection. Strict diet though because I'm sensitive to some foods and still getting tested every 6 months for PKD
Because of my history and my fathers history, I am currently studying to be an RN and I would like to work in the renal ward.
Kidneys are life, treat them with respect !!!!
Awesome video .xxx
Thank you so much for sharing your story and your dads. I'm so happy your dad is doing better now. I think you will make an EXCELLENT renal nurse. You definitely need to pursue it because you will be able to show your patients such passionate care because you have experienced it. I wish you the best in school :)
RegisteredNurseRN

And I just kept think of your video on that . Thank you so much , I'm still watching and I recommend your videos to many classmates
Congratulations! I'm so very happy for you! Also, I'm so happy the hyper and hypokalemia videos helped. I wish you the absolute best in your nursing career. Thank you for taking the time to let me know my videos helped you and for taking the time to recommend my videos to your classmates....I REALLY appreciate that :)

Thank you so much for putting all the time and effort into making these videos! They are very helpful!!!
One of the best explanations you had! I loved how you pointed at each section of the kidney while you explained!
Your videos are amazing! The way you explain everything just makes it so easy to understand. I start nursing school in Spring 2021, and am just watching these videos to get an idea of things. Excellent!
This helps piece everything together so well, thank you! 🙏🏼

Amazing video! Learned so so much in such a short time
Hi from Philippines!! I love ALL your videos, very helpful. Hope you continue making more videos. More power and may God bless you!
Thank you spo much. My professor breezed through this, and I needed this
These videos really help me understand parts of the anatomy. I don’t know if you are a teacher, but you would be a great one. Thank you.
I am in CRNA school, and this video is beneficial; it helps me to understand the diuretics and how they work ,thank you so much.
I am blown away by your videos, thank you so much!!!!
This video is amazing. Currently in my nursing program and all your videos are extremely helpful. Thank you so much!!
I just want to thank you, the way you transmit concepts and knowledge is excellent. Also the diction, description are excellent. Thank you, amazing work.
I was hoping to come home from school to find that you had a video on kidney function! Test on Tuesday :) Thank goodness you uploaded this video today, love your lectures!
PERFECT timing I must say! I'm so glad that the video was here when you needed it. I hope the exam goes well. THANK YOU for watching my videos. I really appreciate it!
I love the way you teach, you make it very easy to understand these sometimes complicated topics. Then your accent is the icing on the cake lol.
Great job ! So helpful, really well articulated, and easy to understand. Thank you
your videos have been very educative for me thank you very much
Everytime i pray for you sarah ♥️ you are the best really you make it easier ✨
Great video. Well explained, but my favorite part was how you brought up questions that a lot of people are probably thinking but wouldnt know the answer to, like why its called REabsorption as opposed to absorption. Breaking it down and keeping it simple while expounding and elaborating using easy to understand language. I swear these dang textbook authors are just trying to make things as complicated as they can sometimes to show off their expansive vocabulary!
Well done, and I look forward to watching your other videos!
Thank you for these videos! I am studying for my HESI A2 to get into Nursing school and it's hard to come by videos on here that really explain in depth! :)
Love your videos and quizzes. Thank you so much!
you should be a professor, thank you so much for making this video!
Thank you
I like your teaching method
Love from India 😘🇮🇳
Two months ago, I experienced kidney stones for the first time, I was in agony for more than two days, afterwards I stopped drinking sodas, cut back on the sodium bigtime, and drink more water and orange juice, and eat foods that will reduce the chances of having it again.
I am so excited to learn renal system from you thank you
God bless you
