*[[Macroscopic Renal Anatomy - Anatomy & Physiology#Common Anatomy|'''Renal Lobule''']] - Groups of these make up a renal lobe.  It is a collective name for a group of nephrons draining into a single medullary ray which in turn drains into a collecting duct

*[[Macroscopic Renal Anatomy - Anatomy & Physiology#Common Anatomy|'''Renal Pyramid''']] - Visible grossly this is the region of the medulla which appears triangular in cross section.  They are actually cone shaped and the pointed part which faces towards the renal pelvis is termed the apex and the part against the cortex the base.

*[[The Endocrine Function of the Kidney - Anatomy & Physiology#Renin|'''Renin''']] - A proteolytic enzyme synthesised in the kidney that plays a role in the regulation of  blood pressure via the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.

*'''Sodium/Potassium ATPase''' - A common ATPase antiporter in the basolateral membrane of the cells of the nephron which removes sodium from within the cell in exchange for potassium.

*[[Glucose Homeostasis - Physiology#T Max and Splay|'''Splay''']] - Between the renal threshold and T-Max the amount of glucose filtered and the amount of glucose in the urine is not linearly related.  This is becuase some nephrons have a greater capacity for reabsorbtion than others and are not overcome as easily.

*[[Transport Proteins - Physiology#Co-Transporters|'''Symporter''']] - A member of the family of transport proteins called ATPases.  This protein is responsible for the transport of at least two molecules in the same direction

*'''Tubule - renal''' - A minute tube, lined by a single layer of epithelial cells, that extends in a convoluted manner from the Bowman's capsule to the collecting ducts.  The primary function of the tubule is to secrete and reabsorb water, inorganic ions and other molecules from the glomerular filtrate.  The tubule consists of 4 main areas:  the [[Reabsorption and Secretion Along the Proximal Tubule - Anatomy & Physiology| Proximal Tubule]], the [[Reabsorption and Secretion Along the Loop of Henle - Anatomy & Physiology| Loop Of Henle]], the [[Reabsorption and Secretion Along the Distal Tubule and Collecting Duct - Anatomy & Physiology#Distal Tubule| Distal Tubule]] and the [[Reabsorption and Secretion Along the Distal Tubule and Collecting Duct - Anatomy & Physiology| Collecting Duct]].
