* '''Bowman's capsule''' - (capsula glomeruli, glomerular capsule) Surrounds the glomerulus within the nephron with a vascular and urinary pole and is the beginning of the tubular component. Named in 1842 after Sir William Bowman (1816 – 1892) an English surgeon and anatomist. | |||
* '''diabetes insipidus''' - The disorder is related to the hormone antidiuretic hormone (ADH, also called vasopressin) its synthesis, secretion, receptors and signaling pathway. In diabetes insipidus there is an excretion of large amounts (up to 30 litres/day) of a watery urine and an unremitting thirst. | * '''diabetes insipidus''' - The disorder is related to the hormone antidiuretic hormone (ADH, also called vasopressin) its synthesis, secretion, receptors and signaling pathway.

* '''glomerulus''' - The capillary network (tuft) within Bowman's capsule of the nephron enters at the vascular pole (afferent and efferent arteriole). | |||
* '''hydronephrosis''' - (congenital hydronephrosis, Greek, ''hydro'' = water) A kidney abnormality due to partial or complete obstruction at the pelvi-ureteric junction. This leads to a grossly dilated renal pelvis causing extensive renal damage before birth. | * '''hydronephrosis''' - (congenital hydronephrosis, Greek, ''hydro'' = water) A kidney abnormality due to partial or complete obstruction at the pelvi-ureteric junction.
