- Figure 41.5 Which of the following statements about the kidney is false? The renal pelvis drains into the ureter. The renal pyramids are in the medulla. The cortex covers the capsule. Nephrons are in the renal cortex.arrow_forwardWhich of the following does not contribute to the high salt concentration in the interstitial fluid of the kidney medulla? (a) active transport of sodium from the upper part of the ascending limb (b) diffusion of salt from the ascending limb of the loop of Henle (c) reabsorption of salt from various regions of Bowmans capsule (d) counterflow of fluid through the two limbs of the loop of Henle (e) diffusion of urea out of the collecting ductarrow_forwardFatty tissue holds the kidneys in place. Extremely rapid weight loss may cause this tissue to shrink so that the kidneys slip from their normal position. On rare occasions, the slippage can put a kink in one or both ureters and block urine flow. Suggest what might then happen to the kidneys.arrow_forward
- Kidney stones are calcium-rich crystals that form inside the kidney. What symptoms would you expect if the stones lodge in a ureter?arrow_forwardWhy do the ureters use smooth muscle contraction to actively move urine to the urinary bladder? Why don’t they rely only on gravity to move the urine to the inferiorly located bladder?arrow_forwardDescribe possible variations in urinary tract anatomy. What do these mean? Would an anatomic variation affect urinary function? In what way? What is dialysis and how does it work?arrow_forward
- The lumen of the ureter is continuous with a space inside the kidney. This space has branching extensions. What are the names of this space and its extensions?arrow_forwardKidney stones are usually located in the renal pelvis. What affected would have this on urine flow and contents? Why are they so painful?arrow_forwardSodium-Potassium Pumps (N+/K+ ATPase) are fundamental to your body’s physiological function. What is the connection/importance of this phenomenon in the urinary system with examples?arrow_forward
- If the urinary excretion rate of a drug such as penicillin is greater than the rate at which it is filtered at the glomerulus, how else is it getting into the urine?arrow_forwardWhy does the cortex of the kidney show a dotted appearance?arrow_forwardWater though Urinary System Trace the path of the water molecule as it moves from this starting point to this ending point. Starting point: The water molecule enters a kidney in the blood plasma traveling through the renal artery. Ending point: The water molecule is excreted from the body. You may write a description, create a diagram with labels, or both to trace a path. Include as many of the following components of the urinary system and terms as you can: afferent arteriolecollecting ductdistal convoluted tubuleglomerular capsuleglomerulusmajor calyxminor calyx nephron loopproximal convoluted tubulerenal pelvisureterurethra For each of the parts of the urinary system in your path, describe a unique anatomical characteristic (size, tissue composition, etc.) or function.arrow_forward
