Unit 14 Quizizz Urinary System

The part of the kidney that contains glomeruli and convoluted tubules. (Area #1)

• renal medulla

• renal cortex

• renal pelvis

• renal tube

The part of the kidney that is divided into renal pyramid “like” shapes. (Area #2)

• renal cortex

• renal pyramid

• renal tube

• renal medulla

A funnel shaped cavity in the kidney where urine collects before it flows into the ureter. (Area #3)

• renal medulla

• renal cortex

• renal pelvis

• renal tube

The basic working unit  of each kidney that is the fundamental excretory unit of each kidney.

• glomerulus

• nephron

• kidney

• tubule

A cluster of capillaries that surround the renal corpuscle.

• tubule

• glomerulus

• nephron

• collecting duct

A part of the nephron between the glomerular and the nephron loop begins at the end of the glomerulus. Fluid in the glomerulus capsule passes into it (Area # 1)

• nephron loop

• vasa recta

• collecting duct

• proximal convuluted tubule

The U-shaped part of the nephron. (Area #2)

• glomerulus

• nephron loop

• vasa recta

• collecting duct

Capillaries that run parallel to the nephron loops and  play a role in urine concentration.

• nephron loop

• glomerulus

• collecting duct

• vasa recta

The movement of water and solutes from the capillaries to the glomerular capsule.

• glomerular filtration

• urinal filtration

• nephron filtration

• osmosis

This is the movement of water and dissolved substances back into the blood. (#2)

• reabsorption

• glomecular filtration

• secretion

• filtration
