What is the function of the renal capsules? a.) Helps kidneys hold their shape and protects them b.) Empty urine into the minor calyces c.) Receive urine from the collecting ducts where it passes on to the renal pelvis and ureter d.) Separate the renal pyramids

Step 1
The kidney is a vital organ that filters blood and removes waste products to produce urine. It consists of several structures, including the renal cortex, renal medulla, renal pyramids, minor and major calyces, renal pelvis, and ureter. Each part has a specific Show more…

What is the role of renal podocytes? a. They prevent red blood cells and large molecules from entering the renal tubules. b. They reabsorb most of the glucose that is filtered from the plasma. c. They control the glomerular filtration rate by changing the resistance of renal arterioles. d. They provide a large surface area for tubular secretion and reabsorption. e. They release renin when the glomerular filtration rate falls.
