Before it enters the ureter, urine collects in the

Renal pelvis

Urine passes through the

Renal pelvis to the ureter to the bladder to the urethra

Of the following, the only epithelial type that does not line the urethra is

Simple Squamous

Transitional epithelium changes shape, but in the unstretched state it most closely resembles which type of epithelium

Stratified cubodial

A renal corpuscle is the same as a

Glomerulus plus a glomerular capsule

Which of the following is not normally found in the urine?

Glucose

The mucosal folds in the bladder (rugae)

Have the same basic function as transitional epithelium-accommodating stretch as the bladder fills

Which of the following is not found in the renal corpuscle?

The loop of Henle

Which glands sits atop each kidney?

adrenal

Fluid in the nephron is not referred to as urine until it reaches the

collecting duct

If you look closely at the tip of a renal papilla with a hand lens, the hundreds of little openings you would see on its surface are

openings of papillary ducts

When Melinda was asked to identify a "mystery" slide on a histology test, she immediately identified it as real cortex because of the presence of scattered

renal corpuscles

The structures that are most important for holding the kidney in place in the abdomen are the

renal fascia

An increase in the permeability of collecting tubule cells to water is due to

the presence of a salty urine in the bladder

Which of the following is part of a uriniferous tubule, but not part of a nephron?

Another name for the neck of the bladder is the

Inferior angle

Loop of Henle

The part of the urniferous tubule whose epithelial cells are most responsible for reabsorption and secretion is the

Proximal tubule

The epithelium lining the urinary bladder that permits distension is

Pseduostratified columnar

An important difference between a cubodial epithelial cell of the proximal vs the distal convoluted tubules is that

The proximal tubule cells are more active in absorption and secretion.

The kidneys lie in the

Abdominal
