• kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra

• adrenal glands, kidneys, bladder and urethra

• the cerbral cortex and medulla oblongata

• the cortex and the medulla

• the hilum and the nephrons

• the ilium and the sacrum

The hilum is

• the outer section of the kidney, contains most of the nephrons

• the inner section of the kidney, contains most of the collecting tubules

• a notched or indented area through which the ureter, nerves, blood vessels and lymph vessels enter and leave the kidney

• microscopic filtering units in the kidneys

The nephrons is/are

• the outer section of the kidney, contains most of the nephrons

• the inner section of the kidney, contains most of the collecting tubules

• a notched or indented area through which the ureter, nerves, blood vessels and lymph vessels enter and leave the kidney

• microscopic filtering units in the kidneys

The medulla is/are

• the outer section of the kidney, contains most of the nephrons

• the inner section of the kidney, contains most of the collecting tubules

• a notched or indented area through which the ureter, nerves, blood vessels and lymph vessels enter and leave the kidney

• microscopic filtering units in the kidneys

The cortex is/are

• the outer section of the kidney, contains most of the nephrons

• the inner section of the kidney, contains most of the collecting tubules

• a notched or indented area through which the ureter, nerves, blood vessels and lymph vessels enter and leave the kidney
