Divisions Proximal tubule
proximal tubule cell showing pumps involved in acid base balance, left lumen of tubule
proximal convoluted tubule (pars convoluta)
the pars convoluta (latin convoluted part ) initial convoluted portion.
in relation morphology of kidney whole, convoluted segments of proximal tubules confined entirely renal cortex.
some investigators on basis of particular functional differences have divided convoluted part 2 segments designated s1 , s2.
proximal straight tubule (pars recta)
the pars recta (latin straight part ) following straight (descending) portion.
straight segments descend outer medulla. terminate @ remarkably uniform level , line of termination establishes boundary between inner , outer stripes of outer zone of renal medulla.
as logical extension of nomenclature described above, segment designated s3.
