*'''Furunculosis''' - rupture of hair follicles with severe inflammation

*[[Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) - Physiology|'''Glomerular Filtration Rate''']] - The volume of fluid filtered from the capillaries into the bowmans capsule every minute.

*[[Glomerulus and Bowmans Capsule - Anatomy & Physiology|'''Glomerulus''']] - A mass of anastomsing capillaries encased in the Bowman's capsule. The function of the glomerulus is to filter components of the blood before they pass to the tubules. The filtrate that is formed consists of water and low molecular weight constituents. The afferent arteriole supplies the glomerulus and the efferent arteriole drains it.

*'''Medullary Ray''' - Middle part of a renal lobule.  Its a straight tube which a nephron drains into and it connects to a collecting duct.  They are only in the renal cortex and its name refers to where it is heading not where it is located.

*[[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.

*'''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 [[Proximal Tubule - Anatomy & Physiology | Proximal Tubule]], the [[Loop Of Henle  - Anatomy & Physiology | Loop Of Henle]], the [[Distal Tubule  - Anatomy & Physiology | Distal Tubule]] and the [[Collecting Duct  - Anatomy & Physiology | Collecting Duct]].
