Select one of the following:

True
False

Explanation

Question 6 of 20

1

The pathway of urine drainage from the kidney begins at the ❌, then to the ❌ calyx, the ❌ calyces, the ❌, exits via the ❌ and enters the ❌ to reach the bladder.

Explanation

Question 7 of 20

1

Blood enters the kidney in the left or right ❌, which comes from the ❌ artery. From there it branches into the ❌ arteries which branch into the ❌ arteries to travel to the lobes. There it become the ❌ arteries, which lie in the cortex.
❌ arterioles travel into the glomerulus to the ❌ capillaries, and then blood exits in the ❌ arterioles. It then goes into the ❌ capillaries, the interlobar vein, the segmental vein, and exits via the hilum in the right or left renal vein.

Question 8 of 20

What nerve does the sympathetic nerve fibres of the renal plexus originate from?

Select one of the following:

Splanchic nerve
Splenic nerve
Vagus nerve

Explanation

Question 9 of 20

1

Choose the correct statement.

Select one of the following:

Glomerular capillaries have fenestrated endothelium.
Pressure is low in the glomerular capillaries.
Pressure is high in the peritubular capillaries.
The vasa recta are associated with the Loop of Henle in cortical nephrons.

Explanation

Question 10 of 20

1

The renal corpuscle is the ❌ capillaries and the Bowman's ❌. The Bowman's capsule's parietal layer is ❌ epithelium while its visceral layer are specialised epithelial cells called ❌. Between these layer's is the Bowman's space. It also contains ❌ cells which are regulatory.
The podocytes are part of the filtration barrier and attach to the ❌ that surrounds the glomerular capillaries. They have foot like processes called ❌ and inbetween are the ❌ which small molecules can move through.

Simple squamous epithelia, impermeable to water, permeable to NaCl
Thin cuboidal epithelia, few microvilli, few mitochondria

Explanation

Select one of the following:

Thin descending limb (Loop of Henle)
Thin ascending limb (Loop of Henle)
Proximal convoluted tubule
Distal convolutes tubule

Explanation

Question 13 of 20

1

Select one or more of the following:

Simple cuboidal epithelia
Principal cells
Intercalated cells
Parietal cells
Simple squamous epithelia

Explanation

Question 14 of 20

1

Reabsorption in the DCT is affected by ADH, while reabsorption in the CD is affected by aldosterone.

Select one of the following:

True
False

Explanation

Question 15 of 20

1

Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

The juxtaglomerular apparatus senses and controls glomerular filtration rate and stabilises blood ( pressure, volume ).
In the afferent arteriole there are ( juxtaglomerular cells, macula densa ) which act as ( mechanoreceptors, chemoreceptors ). They can release renin in response to ( low, high ) blood pressure.
In the distal convoluted tubule there are ( macula densa, juxtaglomerular cells ) which are ( chemoreceptors, mechanoreceptors ) which sense the ( NaCl, creatinine ) concentration, a good indication of GFR.

Explanation

Question 16 of 20

1

Transitional epithelium (stratified, rounded cells which flatten when stretched) is only found in the urinary tract.

Select one of the following:

True
False

Explanation

Question 17 of 20

1

Choose the correct answers.

Select one or more of the following:

Ureters descend retroperitoneally.
The inner muscle of the ureter is circular, the outer muscle is longitudinal.
There are protein plaques on the outer surface of the ureter for protection.
Peristalsis moves urine through the ureters.
The ureter enters the bladder at an oblique angle, at it's anteriolateral corners.

Explanation
