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

Another name for the neck of the bladder is the A) inferior angle. B) superior surface. C) trigone. D) anterior angle.

inferior angle

Which of the following regions of the nephron is most likely to be found in the renal medulla? A) proximal convoluted tubule B) distal convoluted tubule C) glomerulus D) loop of Henle

loop of Henle

If you looked closely at the tip of a renal papilla with a hand lens, the hundreds of little openings you would see on its surface are A) glomeruli. B) openings of papillary ducts. C) renal sinuses. D) minor calyces.

openings of papillary ducts

The part of the uriniferous tubule whose epithelial cells are most responsible for reabsorption and secretion is the A) glomerular capsule (podocytes). B) thin segment. C) distal tubule. D) proximal tubule.

proximal tubule

The epithelium lining the urinary bladder that permits distension is A) transitional. B) stratified squamous. C) pseudostratified columnar. D) simple squamous.

pseudostratified columnar

When Melinda was asked to identify a "mystery" slide on a histology test, she immediately identified it as renal cortex because of the presence of scattered A) renal papillae. B) thin segments. C) renal corpuscles. D) vasa recta.

renal corpuscles

The structures that is (are) most important for holding the kidney in place in the abdomen is (are) the A) the diaphragm, through its muscle tone. B) renal ligaments. C) renal fascia. D) renal vessels.

renal fascia.

Before it enters the ureter, urine collects in the A) renal pelvis. B) renal pyramids. C) renal cortex. D) renal sinus.

renal pelvis

Of the following, the only epithelial type that does not line the urethra is A) stratified columnar. B) stratified squamous. C) simple squamous. D) pseudostratified columnar.

simple squamous

Transitional epithelium changes shape, but in the unstretched state it most closely resembles which type of epithelium? A) stratified cuboidal B) simple squamous C) stratified squamous D) simple columnar

stratified cuboidal

Which of the following is not found in the renal corpuscle? A) the glomerulus B) the loop of Henle C) podocytes D) Bowman's capsule

the loop of Henle

An increase in the permeability of collecting tubule cells to water is due to A) an increase in the production of ADH. B) a decrease in the production of ADH. C) a decrease in the concentration of solutes in the blood plasma. D) the presence of a salty urine in the bladder.

the presence of a salty urine in the bladder

An important difference between a cuboidal epithelial cell of the proximal versus the distal convoluted tubules is that A) the proximal tubule cells are more active in absorption and secretion. B) one lies in the renal cortex, the other in the medulla. C) the former only secretes, the latter only filters. D) only one has a folded basolateral plasmalemma filled with enzymes for ion transport.

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