BIOD 152 Module 7 Exam
True or False: The bladder drains into the ureters.
false
True or False: The kidneys are long, thin muscular tubes.
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
A person sustained blunt force trauma to the back at the L1 level, with no spinal cord injury. Would you
suspect the kidneys to be damaged? Why or why not?
Yes, because the kidneys are between T12 and L3.
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.
Describe the consistency and purpose of the renal adipose capsule
the renal adipose capsule is a layer of fatty tissue that surrounds the kidney and provides protection and
support.
Describe the consistency and purpose of the renal capsule.
, The renal capsule is a tough fibrous innermost membrane of the kidney which protects it from injury
and infection.
Name the layer and the specific structure highlighted in blue, below.
The renal medulla which is divided into sections called pyramids that point toward the center of the
kidney.
Name the layer and the parts of the nephrons located in the region highlighted in green, below.
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. Interlobar

E. Interlobar
These arteries divide into the segmental arteries as they flow into the kidney.
A. Afferent
B. Lobar
C. Interlobular
D. Arcuate
E. Interlobar
