From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Richland is a city in Benton County in the southeastern part of the State of Washington, at the confluence of the Yakima and the Columbia Rivers. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 48,058. April 1, 2013, estimates from the Washington State Office of Financial Management put the city's population at 51,150. Along with the nearby cities of Pasco and Kennewick, Richland is one of the Tri-Cities, Washington, home to the Hanford nuclear site.
Ultrafiltrate flows through the first part of the renal tubule, called the proximal convoluted tubule, which is a section of the renal tubule mainly located in the kidney's cortex that is responsible for the reabsorption of the majority of ultrafiltrate.The ultrafiltrate will then flow into the loop of Henle.he word 'proximal' in 'proximal convoluted tubule' implies it's near or attached to the renal corpuscle, and if you look at the image on your screen, you can also see how convoluted this duct is due to a bunch of twists and turns.
Juxtaglomerular Apparatus. This is a region where, in each nephron, the distal convoluted tubule touches the afferent arteriole. The juxtaglomerular cells are part of the afferent arteriole and the macula densa is part of the distal tubule.Renin is secreted from the JG cells and is important in regulating systemic blood pressure.he result is increased rate of flow and increased osmotic pressure (OP) in the distal convoluted tubule of this nephron. The macula densa (MD) on the tubule side of the juxtaglomerular apparatus is sensitive to the osmotic pressure (OP) and/or the rate of flow of the filtrate.
