Step 1
We need to determine the best plane of section (frontal, sagittal, or transverse) to cut the kidney and what structures will be visible at the hilum. Show more…

Match the structure with the proper description. (not all terms will be used) a. Renal pelvis b. Minor calyces c. Renal medulla d. Renal Cortex e. Peritubular capillaries f. Afferent arteriole g. Efferent arteriole h. Arcuate artery i. Major Calyces j. Segmental artery k. Interlobar artery 1. Composed of cone-shaped, dark-red pyramids, inner aspect of the kidney 2. Outer portion of the kidney which is just deep to the capsule (location of nephrons) 3. Cup-shaped structures at the apex of the renal pyramids: many collecting ducts gather together to empty into this structure 4. These vessels separate medulla from cortex, arching over the pyramid and giving rise to the cortical radiate arteries (**on the figure below) 5. Blood vessel leading directly into the glomerulus (Branches off cortical radiate artery): Match the following parts of the nephron with their correct functions. A. Proximal convoluted tubule B. Nephron Loop/Loop of Henle C. Distal convoluted tubule D. Renal (Bowman's) Capsule 6. This site drains into the collecting duct and is under hormonal influence 7. This structure dips into the medulla to allow concentration of filtrate 8. This is part of the renal corpuscle which collects the initial filtrate, the visceral layer has podocytes with filtration slits while the outer layer forms a cup-like structure 9. Primary site of reabsorption, cells have microvilli, part of tubule leading away from the capsule

The is found between the kidney and the urinary bladder. 8. The is the terminal part of the nephron. 9. Filtration occurs at the part of the nephron. 10. What is the outer region of the kidney called that contains glomeruli? 11. Describe the kidneys with regard to their position in relation to the parietal peritoneum. 12. What takes urine from the bladder to the exterior of the body? 13. What blood vessel takes blood to the kidney? 14. On the inferior bladder is a triangular region. What is it called? 15. Distal convoluted tubules take urinary filtrate directly into what structures? 16. What is a renal papilla? 17. Name the fatty material that covers a kidney. 18. Blood in the glomerulus travels next to what arteriole? 19. Which urinary structure shows the greatest anatomical difference between the sexes: ureters, urinary bladder, or urethra?
