Intraperitoneal, level of T5 to T8

Subcutaneous, level of L1 to L4

What is the function of the adipose capsule surrounding the kidney?

Encloses kidney like cellophane wrap

What constitutes a lobe of the kidney?

Pyramid and its overlying cortex

What is the role of podocytes in the kidney?

They form a barrier for filtration

They transport urine to the bladder

What is the primary function of the renal corpuscle?

To filter blood and form glomerular filtrate

What is the characteristic feature of the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT)?

Longest, most coiled, simple cuboidal with brush border

U-shaped with descending and ascending limbs

Thick segment, active transport of salts

What is the structure of the distal convoluted tubule (DCT)?

Longest, most coiled, simple cuboidal with brush border

U-shaped with descending and ascending limbs

Thick segment, active transport of salts

What is the role of the collecting duct in the renal tubule system?

It collects urine from several distal convoluted tubules (DCTs).

It filters blood directly from the renal artery.

It reabsorbs nutrients from the glomerular filtrate.

It transports blood to the nephron loop.

What is the correct sequence of the flow of glomerular filtrate through the renal system?

Glomerular capsule → PCT → nephron loop → DCT → collecting duct

Glomerular capsule → DCT → PCT → nephron loop → collecting duct

Glomerular capsule → nephron loop → PCT → DCT → collecting duct

Glomerular capsule → collecting duct → PCT → nephron loop → DCT

What is the role of the afferent arteriole in the nephron?

Supplies blood to the glomerulus

Carries blood away from the glomerulus

Reabsorbs water from the filtrate

Secretes hormones into the blood

What is the function of the renal artery in the blood supply system?

It supplies oxygenated blood to the kidney.

It carries blood away from the kidney.

It filters waste from the blood.

It connects the kidney to the bladder.

What is the role of the efferent arteriole in the kidney's blood supply?

It carries blood away from the glomerulus.

It carries blood to the glomerulus.

It connects the kidney to the ureter.

It supplies blood to the renal vein.

What is the primary function of glomerular filtration in urine formation?

Creates a plasmalike filtrate of the blood

Removes water from the urine and returns it to the blood

Removes additional wastes from the blood

Concentrates wastes in the urine

During tubular reabsorption, what happens to useful solutes?

They are removed from the blood

They are concentrated in the urine

What is the role of tubular secretion in the process of urine formation?

Adds additional wastes to the filtrate

Creates a plasmalike filtrate of the blood

Concentrates wastes in the urine

How does water conservation contribute to urine formation?

It removes water from the urine and returns it to the blood

It creates a plasmalike filtrate of the blood

It removes useful solutes from the filtrate

It adds additional wastes to the filtrate

What is the function of the filtration slits in the filtration membrane?

To prevent the passage of blood cells

To allow large molecules to pass through

What role do the podocyte cell bodies play in the filtration membrane?

They form a barrier to large molecules

What is the function of the fenestrated endothelium in the filtration membrane?

To exclude blood cells with 70-90nm pores

To allow all molecules to pass through

What percentage of protein is found in blood plasma compared to the glomerular filtrate?

7% in blood plasma, 0.03% in filtrate

10% in blood plasma, 0.1% in filtrate

5% in blood plasma, 0.5% in filtrate

3% in blood plasma, 0.7% in filtrate
