.
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

ureter
nephron
2. Cortical tissue extensions that come down between each of the 18 pyramids
renal columns
juxtamedullary nephron
fibrous capsule
renal pelvis
3. Layer of fat that attaches to the posterior wall of the abdomen and serves to cushion the kidney
proximal convoluted tubule
perirenal fat capsule
kidneys
fibrous capsule
4. Give medullary pyramids striations
juxtamedullary nephron
minor calyces
collecting ducts
peritubular capillary bed
5. Ball of capillaries containing endothelium - filtrate - the efferent arteriole and the efferent arteriole
kidneys

glomerulus
minor calyces
6. Ball-shaped; in glomerulus where filtrate is formed from blood

Bowman's capsule
7. Point of the pyramid that points inward
apex or papilla

perirenal fat capsule
medulla
8. Cuplike sac that has two layers
9. Deepest layer of the kidney and functions to prevent from spreading to the kidney
fibrous capsule
hilum
renal tubule
distal convoluted tubule
10. Help to concentrate urine
juxtamedullary nephron capillary bed
hilum
carotid nephron
proximal convoluted tubule
11. Place where urine collects before it leaves the body

carotid nephron
glomerulus
ureter
13. Main processing center of the urinary system
renal columns

renal fascia
loop of Henle
15. Filtering device at the opening of the nephron; filters out large solutes and sends water and small solutes to the renal tubule
peritubular capillary bed
collecting ducts
renal tubule
renal corpuscle
16. Part of the nephron through which the filtrate passes to the collecting ducts
juxtamedullary nephron
carotid nephron
renal tubule

17. Picks up solutes that have been filtered out in the glomerular bed and reabsorb them
renal pelvis
perirenal fat capsule
carotid nephron
peritubular capillary bed
18. Inner layer of the internal kidney; consists of 18 cone-shaped subsections called the renal pyramids
key processes of the urinary system
loop of Henle
peritubular capillary bed
medulla
19. Ducts that carry urine from the renal pyramid of the medulla to the renal pelvis for excretion through the ureters
