Multiple Choice Questions

Identify the correct direction of urine flow from formation to exiting the kidney. (using: medula, ureter, cortex, and pelvis)
  • distal convoluted tubule (DCT)
  • calyces; renal pelvis
  • cortex, medulla, pelvis, ureter
  • aldosterone release by the adrenal glands
Where does the ureter penetrate the kidney?
  • vasa recta
  • False
  • hilum
  • renal cortex
Where does filtration of the blood occur within the kidneys?
  • renal cortex
  • vasa recta
  • renal failure
  • proximal convoluted tubule
How do we calculate the net filtration pressure?
  • renal cortex
  • cortical radiate arteries
  • The left kidney is lower in position because of crowding by the liver.
  • Net filtration pressure is calculated by subtracting the inward pressures from the outward pressures: (HPgc) - (HPcs + OPgc).
Name the strong transparent covering that encases the kidney.
  • renal cortex
  • cortical radiate arteries
  • renal (fibrous) capsule
  • proximal convoluted tubule
Where does the kidney filter the blood?
  • renal (fibrous) capsule
  • proximal convoluted tubule
  • renal cortex
  • renal corpuscle (The renal corpuscle is an interface between the blood supply and the kidney. It consists of the glomerulus, which is a capillary bed, and the glomerular (bowman's) capsule, which is part of the nephron. Filtration is the exit of small substances from the blood in the glomerulus into the glomerular capsule of the nephron.)
