Answer 2

Question 3

A smooth, transparent sheet of dense irregular connective tissue that is continuous with the outer coat of the ureter. Serves as a barrier against trauma and helps maintain the shape of the kidney.

Answer 3

renal capsule

Question 4

Is a mass of fatty tissue surrounding the renal capsule. Protects the kidney from trauma and holds in firmly in place within the abdominal cavity.

Answer 4

adipose capsule

Question 5

Answer 8

renal cortex

Renal cortex and renal pyramids constitute the

Answer 10

parenchyma

Question 11

Functional units of the kidney

Answer 11

nephrons

Question 12

Filtrate, formed by nephrons, drains into

Answer 12

papillary ducts

Question 13

Papillary ducts drains into cuplike structures called:

Answer 13

major ( 2 or 3) and minor (8-18) calyces

Question 14

Receives urine from the papillary ducts of one renal papilla and delivers it to a major calyx.

glomerulus

Question 22

The glomerular capillaries the reunite to form an

Answer 22

efferent arteriole

Question 23

The efferent arterioles divide to form the: ____, which surround tubular parts of the nephron in the renal cortex.

Answer 23

peritubular capillaries

Question 24

Extending from spme efferent arterioles are long loop shaped capillaries called:
