# The Urinary System

## A. Anatomy of the Urinary System

1. **Label the parts of the kidney using these terms**: capsule, cortex, major calyx, medullary pyramids, minor calyx, renal sinus, renal pelvis, renal column, ureter, renal artery, renal papilla, renal vein.

   The diagram on the left shows a cross-section of a kidney. It is labeled with:

   - **Cortex**: The outer layer of the kidney.
   - **Medullary Pyramid**: The cone-shaped tissues of the kidney.
   - **Renal Pelvis**: The funnel-shaped structure that collects urine.
   - **Minor Calyx**: Tubes that collect urine from the medullary pyramids.
   - **Renal Artery** and **Renal Vein**: Blood vessels that supply the kidney.
   - **Ureter**: The tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder.

2. **Label the parts of a nephron and of the associated blood vessels**: afferent arteriole, Bowman's capsule, collecting duct, distal convoluted tubule, efferent arteriole, glomerulus, Loop of Henle, peritubular capillaries, proximal convoluted tubule, vasa recta.

   The diagram on the right shows the structure of a nephron, labeled with:

   - **Blood**: Entry point for blood flow into the nephron.
   - **Parts of the nephron and associated blood vessels** are to be identified for thorough understanding.
