.
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. Deepest layer of the kidney and functions to prevent from spreading to the kidney
glomerular capillary bed
renal corpuscle
fibrous capsule
medulla
2. Large structure that is continuous with the ureter - composed of minor calyces that drain into major calyces
renal pelvis
renal columns
medulla
ureter
3. Main processing center of the urinary system
cortex
renal tubule
hilum
kidneys
4. Composed of cuplike epithelium that do not have microvilli and which helps to regulate the salts in the kidneys
hilum
carotid nephron
juxtamedullary nephron
distal convoluted tubule
5. Part of the nephron through which the filtrate passes to the collecting ducts
glomerulus
renal tubule
peritubular capillary bed
apex or papilla
6. Region where blood vessels and lymphatic vessels enter the kidney

renal pelvis
medulla
7. Picks up solutes that have been filtered out in the glomerular bed and reabsorb them
juxtamedullary nephron capillary bed
glomerulus
peritubular capillary bed
Bowman's capsule
8. Inner layer of the internal kidney; consists of 18 cone-shaped subsections called the renal pyramids
renal fascia
medulla

14. Place where urine collects before it leaves the body
ureter
juxtamedullary nephron capillary bed
