Urinary System Review

Urine production takes place in the:

• nephrons
• bladder
• ureter
• renal pelvis

Which kidney structure empties into the ureter?

• renal pelvis
• calyx
• renal papilla
• renal pyramid

In homeostasis, the kidney regulates the:

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

Which stage of urine production involves the removal of substances from the bloodstream?

• reabsorption
• excretion
• filtration
• secretion

What would you find inside the glomerulus?

• Urea
• Urine
• Blood
• Lymph

What C-shaped structure in the nephron surrounds the glomerulus?

• Bowman's capsule
• bladder
• renal pelvis
• hilum

The proximal convoluted tubule in the nephron aids in:

• Reabsorption
• Secretion
• Filtration
• Urination

A hollow muscular sac that holds up to 500 mL of urine:

• Bladder
• Kidney
• Ureter
• Urethra

Urine flows out of the kidneys through narrow tubes called

• Gallbladder
• Ureter
• Nephrons
• Urethra

What is the principal function of the excretory structure indicated by letter X in the diagram?

• reabsorption
• filtration
• storage
• egestion
