The epithelium lining the urinary bladder that permits distension is

True
(T/F) The location & length of the urethra are 2 factors that contribute to the high incidence of urinary tract infections in women.
True
(T/F) Urine flows from the kidney ti the bladder by gravity & peristalsis.
True
Ladderlike looping blood vessels within the medulla
Vasa Recta
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
Arteries that branch too form the AFFERENT arterioles to the Glomeruli are
Cortical Radiate Arteries
Which region of the nephron is most likely to be found in the Renal Medulla?
Nephron Loop
If you looked closely at the tip of a Renal Papillae with a hand lens, the hundreds of little openings you would see on its surface are....
Openings of the papillary ducts
Before it enters the ureter, urine collects in the
Renal Pelvis
Urine passes through the
Renal Pelvis-->Ureter--> Bladder-->Urethra
A large fat-filled space within the kidney that also contains the Renal pelvis, blood vessels, & nerves.
Sinus
The longest of the 3 parts of the male urethra is the
Spongy Urethra
Cortical nephrons are different from Juxtamedullary nephrons in that
their nephron loop is shorter, with shorter thin segment.
The external Urethral Sphincter is located
at the urogenital diaphragm
Vessels & nerves enter & leave the kidney through the
Medial Hilum
(T/F) The glomerular capsule & the glomerular capillaries together make up the renal corpuscle.
TRUE
Which of the following is NOT found in the Renal Corpuscle?
The Nephron Loop (Loop of Henle)
An important difference between the Paritubular Capillaries & the Vasa Recta in the Kidney is that
The Vasa Recta are in the Medulla, whereas the Peritubular Capillaires are in the Cortex.
