You've undoubtedly heard the term identity crisis, but you may not know its origins. The developmental psychologist Erik Erikson defined eight crisis stages that characterize our lives from birth through death.
Nephrons consist of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule. The renal corpuscles are located in the cortex of the kidney. The cortex is one of the two two parts of the kidney. The cortex is the outer zone of the kidney in which ultrafiltration. occurs. The other part of the kidney is the renal medulla. the inner part.
Together, the renal corpuscle and its associated tubule is called a nephron. In this cartoon, orange color represents renal corpuscles, blue color indicates tubules of each nephron, whose function is analogous to that of striated ducts, and lavendar color indicates collecting ducts, whose function is more passive.he renal corpuscles are the sites where the process of urine formation begins with a filtrate of blood plasma. 1  Each renal corpuscle consists of an epithelial cup called Bowman's capsule enclosing a knot of capillaries and other elements called the glomerulus.
