• urethra
• bladder
• ureter
• kidney

Cup-like collecting region of the renal pelvis:

• calyx
• hilum
• nephron
• glomerulus

The outer region of the kidney:

• renal cortex
• calyx
• hilum
• nephron

Tiny ball of capillaries in the kidney:

• renal medulla
• nephron
• glomerulus
• renal cortex

Combination of glomerulus and renal tubule where filtration, reabsorption, and secretion take place in the kidney:

• arterioles
• renal medulla
• hilum
• nephron

Central collecting region in the kidney:

• renal cortex
• renal pelvis
• renal medulla
• renal tubule

Depression in an organ where blood vessels and nerves enter and exit:

• glomerulus
• renal medulla
• hilum
• nephron

A combining form that means kidney:

• cyst/o
• cali/o
• nephr/o
• pyel/o

Triangular area in the urinary bladder:

• ureter
• urethra
