afferent circulation: Renal artery → Interlobar arteries → Arcuate arteries → Cortical radial arteries → Afferent arterioles → Renal corpuscle (Glomerulus, Bowman's capsule)

kidney tubule: Proximal tubule → Loop of Henle (Descending, Thin ascending, Thick ascending)  → Distal convoluted tubule → Connecting tubule → Collecting ducts → Duct of Bellini → Renal papilla → Minor calyx → Major calyx → Renal pelvis → Ureter

efferent circulation: Glomerulus → Efferent arterioles → Peritubular capillaries/Vasa recta → Arcuate vein→ Interlobar veins→ Renal vein

juxtaglomerular apparatus: Macula densa, Juxtaglomerular cells, Extraglomerular mesangial cells
Renal physiology
Filtration - Ultrafiltration | Countercurrent exchange | Glomerular basement membrane | Podocyte | Filtration slits | Intraglomerular mesangial cells

Hormones affecting filtration - Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) | Aldosterone | Atrial natriuretic peptide

Endocrine - Renin | Erythropoietin (EPO) | Calcitriol (Active vitamin D) | Prostaglandins
