Ch. 26 Urinary System Questions
Which of the following processes participates in the production of urine in the kidney?
-Reabsorption -Secretion -Filtration
Which of the following are functions of the kidneys?
-maintain the proper chemistry of the blood -remove nitrogenous wastes from the blood -Remove excess water from the blood
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?
Collecting tubule
The most superficial layer of the kidney is the
Cortex
Another name for the neck of the bladder is the
Inferior angle
Which of the following regions of the nephron is most likely to be found in the renal medulla?
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
