Medulla

Visible in this image, are thin limbs of the loop of Henle, ascending thick limbs, and a medullary collecting duct. The proximal straight tubules do not extend this deeply into the medulla. Medullary collecting ducts converge to form the large ducts of Bellini, which empty into minor calyces. The vasa recta contain numerous red blood cells. 10x, 400x
