Instructions:
Answer 27 questions in 15 minutes.
If you are not ready to take this test, you can
study here
.
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. Place where urine collects before it leaves the body
cortex
ureter
juxtamedullary nephron capillary bed
renal corpuscle
2. Filtering device at the opening of the nephron; filters out large solutes and sends water and small solutes to the renal tubule
minor calyces
juxtamedullary nephron
peritubular capillary bed
renal corpuscle
3. Picks up solutes that have been filtered out in the glomerular bed and reabsorb them
ureter
apex or papilla
kidneys
peritubular capillary bed
4. Give medullary pyramids striations
kidneys
loop of Henle
glomerular capillary bed
collecting ducts
5. Region where blood vessels and lymphatic vessels enter the kidney
renal fascia
loop of Henle
hilum
proximal convoluted tubule
6. Ducts that carry urine from the renal pyramid of the medulla to the renal pelvis for excretion through the ureters
minor calyces
glomerulus
renal corpuscle
distal convoluted tubule
7. Inner layer of the internal kidney; consists of 18 cone-shaped subsections called the renal pyramids

8. Ball-shaped; in glomerulus where filtrate is formed from blood
peritubular capillary bed
glomerular capillary bed
loop of Henle
ureter
9. Part of the nephron through which the filtrate passes to the collecting ducts
key processes of the urinary system
renal corpuscle
renal tubule
cortex
10. Microvilli-covered tubule that leaves Bowman's capsule and goes to the loop of Henle
cortex
kidneys
proximal convoluted tubule
perirenal fat capsule
11. Found mostly in the cortex; 95% of all nephrons
carotid nephron
proximal convoluted tubule
kidneys
perirenal fat capsule
12. Deepest layer of the kidney and functions to prevent from spreading to the kidney
nephron
renal fascia
fibrous capsule
key processes of the urinary system
13. Major functioning structure of the kidneys; consists of the renal corpuscle and proximal and distal convoluted tubules and nephronic loop
nephron
medulla
Bowman's capsule
glomerulus
14. Made up of the descending LOH and the ascending LOH
loop of Henle
juxtamedullary nephron
renal columns
proximal convoluted tubule
15. Outer most layer of the internal portion of the kidney

carotid nephron
kidneys
18. Layer of fat that attaches to the posterior wall of the abdomen and serves to cushion the kidney
ureter
