Background
|
The renal medulla contains the structures of the nephrons responsible for maintaining the salt and water balance of the blood. These structures include the vasa rectae, the venulae rectae, the medullary capillary plexus, the loop of Henle, and the collecting tubule. The renal medulla is hypertonic to the filtrate in the nephron and aids in the reabsorption of water. Alternative Names: Rat Kidney Medulla Tissue Lysate, Rat Kidney Medulla Lysate, Normal Rat Kidney Medulla Lysate, Kidney Medulla Lysate
