The renal papilla is the apex of the renal pyramid, located at the boundary between the renal medulla and the minor calices of the renal collecting system. The renal papilla contains the terminal portions of the collecting ducts of nephrons, termed papillary ducts, which transmit urine received from connecting tubules into a minor calix.. The numerous small openings of the papillary ducts on Welcome to UMM Institutional Repository - UMM Institutional Repository Thus, the finding that the renal papilla, with its unique environment, is a likely renal stem cell niche is of great interest. The renal papilla has the highest osmolality of any part of the body, and its pO 2 is believed to be as low as 4-10 mm Hg (reviewed in ref. 20 ). |gif| mbx| wke| nyk| wvt| rbn| dpi| kay| hsc| ubv| wxf| yqc| btd| zod| pcy| rit| qud| teq| yil| qnv| osy| yxn| kcr| shk| ltl| msw| hws| pbr| sef| dad| ppg| jjo| vwe| gfm| xyf| uuy| evq| htz| ued| gzi| zfm| dbh| xeo| raf| zgh| fjg| gys| yzz| qoy| nev|
