3. Main processing center of the urinary system






4. Place where urine collects before it leaves the body

20. Filtration - reabsorption - secretion and excretion






21. Help to concentrate urine






22. Made up of the descending LOH and the ascending LOH






23. Inner layer of the internal kidney; consists of 18 cone-shaped subsections called the renal pyramids






24. Cortical tissue extensions that come down between each of the 18 pyramids






25. Point of the pyramid that points inward






26. Give medullary pyramids striations






27. Outermost layer of the kidney - composed of kidney tissue - and serves to anchor the kidney to surrounding body structures
