URINARY SYSTEM REVIEW QUESTIONS Which of the following functions is NOT performed by the kidneys? a. excretion b. reabsorption of nutrients c. control of pH in body fluids d. water balance 1. 6. A renal pyramid is composed of: numerous glomerular capsules interlobular and arcuate vessels renal tubules and collecting ducts all of the above a. b. c. d. occurs 2. When dissecting a kidney, cutting through the renal capsule will expose which first? a. renal pelvis b. renal cortex c. renal pyramid d. nephrons with glomerular capsules, whereas the process of primarily at the renal tubules. a. reabsorption; secretion b. filtration; reabsorption c. filtration; secretion d. secretion; reabsorption takes place 3. Newly formed urine flows from the 8. Dissection of the mammalian kidney revealed the - is a membrane-lined basin within the organ. a. renal pyramid b. renal sinus c. renal pelvis d. capsular space renal papilla into the: a. renal pyramid b. minor calyx c. renal sinus d. ureter 4. A renal corpuscle consists of: the renal cortex and medulla b. a. You can distinguish the proximal convoluted tubules from other segments of the renal tubule under the microscope by the presence of: a. simple squamous epithelium b. simple cuboidal epithelium with a glomerular capsule and 9. glomerulus c. convoluted tubules and loop of Henle d. all of the above Blood enters the glomerulus from the: a. afferent arteriole b. peritubular capillary c. efferent arteriole d. arcuate artery 5. microvilli ciliated cells c. d. large columnar cells 10. A section through the renal cortex can be identified quickly by the presence of: a. renal corpuscles b. adipose tissue c. collecting ducts d. all of the above

Explanation / Answer

1. (B) reasorption of nutient . ( Kidney function include water balance , regulation of pH and excretion of metabolic waste & absorption of glucose & salt but not the nutient .)

2. And (B) Renal cortex ( when we cut kidney first we will see the outermost areaof kidney known as Renal cortex rest are the deep structures of kidney)

3. Ans (B) Minor calyx ( Urine formation takes place in the nephron then it flows from collecting duct in nephron to papillary duct , renal papilla , Minor calyx , major calyx , renal pelvis , urethra. )

4. Ans (D) renal corpuscle also known as maliphangian body consist of glomerulus with Bowman's capsule , convulated tubule & loop of henley & present in the renal cortex and renal medulla

5. Answer ( A) Affrent arteriole the structure that carries blood to the glomerulus is Afferent arteriole it is a branch of renal artery that supply blood to kidney.
