.
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. Layer of fat that attaches to the posterior wall of the abdomen and serves to cushion the kidney

collecting ducts
ureter
17. Region where blood vessels and lymphatic vessels enter the kidney
