What is line "A" pointing to?

Fenestration

Which is line "C" pointing to?

This can be divided into the cortical zone and the juxtamedullary zone.

Letter A - renal cortex

This layer runs deep to the peritoneum on the anterior surface of the kidneys.

Letter A - renal fascia

This layer's main function is to protect the kidney from trauma and hold it in place within the abdominal cavity.

Letter B - adipose capsule

Fluid flowing from point H in the figure will go to which structure next?

Letter B - from Ascending loop of Nephron to distal convoluted tubule

Which of the following labels correctly identifies the juxtaglomerular apparatus? (delete)

Letter C

Which vessel in the diagram is the afferent arteriole?

Letter C

Each kidney can have anywhere from 8 to 18 of these.

Letter C - minor calyces

This is composed of dense irregular tissue that runs continuous with the ureter.

Letter C - renal capsule

Which vessel in the diagram is the interlobular artery?

Letter D

Letter D - (further away)

Which vessel in the diagram is the interlobular vein?

Letter E

Which vessel in the diagram is the arcuate artery?

Letter F

Fluid flowing from point N in the figure will go to which structure next?

Letter G - from Proximal convoluted tubule to Nephron loop: descending limb

Where is the arcuate vein?

Letter H

Fluid flowing from point G in the figure will go to which structure next?

Letter I - from Nephron loop: descending limb to Ascending loop of Nephron

Where is the corticomedullary junction?

Letter J

Fluid flowing from point B in the figure will go to which of the following structures?

Letter J - from distal convoluted tubule to minor calyx

Urine formed by the nephrons first drains into these.

Letter K - papillary ducts

Where is the ascending limb of the nephron loop?

Letter L

Letter L

Which vessel(s) in the diagram are the peritubular capillaries?

Letter M

Where is the papillary duct?

Letter N

What is line "B" pointing to?
