.
Match each statement with the correct term.
Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.
This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Major functioning structure of the kidneys; consists of the renal corpuscle and proximal and distal convoluted tubules and nephronic loop
kidneys
nephron
carotid nephron
minor calyces
2. Part of the nephron through which the filtrate passes to the collecting ducts
juxtamedullary nephron
renal tubule
perirenal fat capsule
renal corpuscle
3. Found closer to the junction between the cortex and the medulla of the kidneys
fibrous capsule
glomerular capillary bed
juxtamedullary nephron

5. Ducts that carry urine from the renal pyramid of the medulla to the renal pelvis for excretion through the ureters
collecting ducts
apex or papilla
minor calyces

7. Found mostly in the cortex; 95% of all nephrons
key processes of the urinary system
nephron
peritubular capillary bed

cortex
10. Outer most layer of the internal portion of the kidney
cortex
glomerular capillary bed
loop of Henle
renal corpuscle
11. Help to concentrate urine

16. Filtering device at the opening of the nephron; filters out large solutes and sends water and small solutes to the renal tubule
ureter
renal corpuscle
juxtamedullary nephron
loop of Henle
17. Ball-shaped; in glomerulus where filtrate is formed from blood
renal tubule

fibrous capsule
kidneys
medulla
glomerulus
