True or False: The bladder drains into the ureters.
false
A person sustained blunt force trauma to the back at the T5
level, with no spinal cord injury. Would you suspect the
kidneys to be damaged? Why or why not?
No, the kidneys lie between the T-12 and L-3
Describe the consistency and purpose of the renal fascia.
The outer renal fascia is dense fibrous connective tissue which
keeps the kidney in place inside the abdominal cavity.
Name the layer and the parts of the nephrons located in the
region highlighted in green, below.
Located within the cortex are the glomerular capsule and the
distal and proximal convoluted tubule sections of the
nephrons.
These arteries flow in between the renal pyramids.
A. Afferent
B. Lobar
C. Interlobular
D.Arcuate
E. Correct Answer Interlobar
F. Renal
After filtration occurs, next blood travels into these vessels.
A. Correct! Efferent arteriole
B. Lobar veins
C. Interlobular veins

Name the region in the diagram below, indicated by the red
arrow.
DCT (Distal convoluted tubule)
Which of the following is false about the location of the
bladder?
A. In males, the bladder is anterior to the rectum.
B. In females, the bladder is posterior to the uterus.
C. In females, the bladder is in between the rectum and the uterus.

Describe the purposes of the urethral sphincters.
● The involuntary-controlled internal urethral sphincter is
located near the bladder and keeps the urethra closed to
prevent urine from leaving the bladder.
● The voluntary-controlled external urethral sphincter,
composed of skeletal muscle, surrounds the urethra as it
passes through the pelvic floor.
A patient was just placed under general anesthesia. He is now
awake and telling you he is having a hard time excreting
urine. What is most likely causing the difficulty?
A. Incontinence due to stroke
B. Incontinence due to dementia
C. Urinary retention due to spinal cord injury
