The primary function of the proximal convoluted tubule is

absorption of ions, organic molecules, vitamins, and water.

Blood is carried to the renal corpuscle via the

afferent arteriole

The kidney is protected and supported by

peririmernal fat, capusle, real fascia, and renal capusle

the portion of the nephron that attaches to the collecting duct is the

proximal convoluted tubule

bowman's capsule and the glomerulus make up the

renal corpuscle

the innermost layer of the kidney is called the

renal medulla

The expanded end of the ureter forms the

renal pelvis

During the micturition reflex,

sympathetic fibers to the detrusor are stimulated

The region known as the macula densa is part of

Renal circulation is unique because

The ureters and urinary bladder are lined by ________ epithelium.

transitional

The capillaries surrounding the long loops of Henle are referred to as

vasa recta

The portion of the nephron between the glomerular capsule and the nephron loop is the

Distal convoluted tube

a glomerulus is

a knot of capillaries that lies within the renal corpuscle

The detrusor muscle

compresses the urinary bladder and expels urine through the urethra.

The part of the nephron that is involved with secreting materials that need to leave the body that were not removed by filtration is the

glomerulus

The prominent indentation on the medial surface of the kidney is the

hilum

Back up of urine due to obstruction of the collecting system of the kidney can cause

hydronephrosis

the storage reflex involves

inhibition of the detrusor by sympathetic efferent fibers

The cells of the macula densa and the juxtaglomerular cells form the

juxtaglomerular complex
