Urinary System Anatomy

Urine production takes place in the:

• nephrons
• bladder
• ureter
• renal pelvis

The correct order for the renal tubules is:

• proximal convoluted tubule, collecting duct, distal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle
• distal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, proximal convoluted tubule, collecting duct
• proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule, collecting duct
• collecting duct, proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule

In homeostasis, the kidney regulates the:

• levels of electrolytes 
• amount of water in the body
• pH
• all of the above
