Tandem t:slim: 300 units; Due to the larger insulin reservoir, the t:flex has an expanded âbumpâ on the back side (as seen below), which Tandem tells us doesnât add much in size to the new device but does add a little weight to it overall. Still, it remains smaller than even the current Medtronic 5-series pump that holds 300 units.
Good overview! I'm in the process of doing a project on the nephron for my anatomy class, and this is a really good overview. I'd just like to add one thing -- there's also a nephron loop, which is the part of the nephron shaped like a âUâ that is made up of a descending loop, an ascending limb, and a descending limb.
nephron. the structural and functional unit of the kidney, each nephron being capable of forming urine by itself. The nephron consists of the renal corpuscle, the proximal convoluted tubule, the descending and ascending limbs of the loop of Henle, the distal convoluted tubule, and the collecting tubule.Each kidney is an aggregation of about a million nephrons.he structural and functional unit of the kidney, each nephron being capable of forming urine by itself.
