3 Questions
Match the following anatomical structures with their descriptions:
Ureter = Begins at the renal pelvis at the hilum of the kidney and extends inferiorly along psoas muscle Bladder = Located within the pelvis, anterior to peritoneal cavity, with a smooth muscular wall and variable wall thickness Kidney = Consists of outer layers including fibrous capsule, perirenal adipose, Gerota’s fascia, and pararenal adipose Renal pelvis = Receives urine from major calyces, then transmits it through the hilum into the ureter
Match the following anatomical terms with their descriptions:
Parenchyma = Includes outer layer cortex, inner layer medullary pyramid, columns of Bertin, sinus, fatty fibrous tissue, collecting system, and blood vessels and lymphatics Hilum = Point where the artery enters the kidney and the vein and ureter exit the kidney Anatomy = Primary excretory organs responsible for urine production and homeostasis, excreting metabolic waste products and maintaining blood volume Physiology = Dependent on factors such as height, weight, age, and sex, with adult average length of 9-12cm
Match the following physiological terms with their descriptions:
Primary excretory organs = Responsible for urine production and homeostasis, excreting metabolic waste products and maintaining blood volume Urine = Consists of 95% water and 5% nitrogenous waste (blood urea nitrogen and creatinine) Ureters = Consist of inner mucosal layer, middle smooth muscle, and outer fibrous layer, transporting urine to the bladder via peristalsis Kidney Size = Dependent on factors such as height, weight, age, and sex, with adult average length of 9-12cm
