chapter 24 homework

Identify the letter that indicates the parietal layer of glomerular capsule.

D

Identify the letter that indicates the renal pelvis.

D

Identify the letter that indicates the glomerulus.

B

Identify the letter that indicates the visceral layer of the glomerular capsule.

C

Which of the following regions of the nephron is most likely to be found in the renal medulla?

collecting duct

The most superficial layer of the kidney is the

cortex.

Which segment of the nephron has a simple squamous epithelium?

descending limb of the nephron loop

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

the nephron loop

Identify the letter that indicates the vasa recta.

E

Which gland sits atop each kidney?

adrenal

Identify the letter that indicates blood vessels that absorb solutes from the convoluted tubules.

A

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.

During a dissection, Arnie saw the ureters entering the lateral corners of the bladder but found the internal openings of the ureters in the trigone near the midline of the bladder. His observation necessarily means that

the ureters run medially for some distance within the posterior bladder wall.

Cortical nephrons are different from juxtamedullary nephrons in that

their nephron loop is shorter, with a shorter thin segment.

The layer of podocytes is the same as the

visceral layer of glomerular capsule

85% of nephrons are described by this term that relates to their location in the kidney.

cortical

Which of the following processes does not participate in the production of urine in the kidney?

evaporation

The mucosal folds in the bladder (rugae)

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

The region of the distal tubule that monitors concentration of the filtrate is called the

macula densa
