MEDSCI 142 – Renal Exam Questions With
Correct Answers
Concerning the renal corpuscles:
a) the capsular space feeds directly into the distal convoluted tubule
b) the glomerular filter is made up of the following: capillary endothelial cells, basement
membrane, outer capsule
c) the capillary endothelial cells are called podocytes
d) the renal corpuscles are all located in the medulla of the kidney
e) the endothelium of the glomerular capillaries contains pores - answer✔a - no, the ascending
loop of henle feeds into the distal convoluted tubule
b - no, there is no outer capsule, there is a slit membrane instead
c - no, they are epithelium
d - no, they are in the cortex
e - correct, it is the fenestrated enodthelium

a) cells that line the proximal convoluted tubule are the only cells of the body which have a brush
border of microvilli
b) the ureter is continuous with the renal pelvis
c) there are more lobes than lobules in the human kidney
d) the glomerular (Bowmans) capsule is in direct contact with blood
e) the urinary space of the renal corpuscle is continuous with the distal convoluted tube -
answer✔a - no, there are lots around the body
b - correct, the renal pelvis continues to become the ureter
c - no, there are many many lobules in each lobe
d - no, it is the outside parts of the renal corpuscle
e - no, the distal convoluted tube is not connected to the renal corpuscle
Which of the following statements about the human kidney is correct?
a) the renal columns are made of medullary tissue
b) the renal artery enters the kidney and branches directly into the interlobular arteries
c) the sequence of flow of fluid into the nephron and collecting duct is the following: glomerular
capsule (surrounding glomerulus)-proximal convoluted tubule-distal convoluted tubule-loop of
Henle-collecting duct

d) the path of urine drainage in the human kidney is the following: renal pyramid-minor calyx-
major calyx-renal pelvis-ureter
e) the path of urinary drainage in the kidney is: renal pyramid-renal pelvis-minor calyx-major
calyx-ureter-urinary bladder - answer✔a - no, they are made of cortex tissue
b - no, it has other branches first
c - no, the loop of Henle comes before the distal convoluted tubule
d - correct
e - no, the calyces come before the pelvis
Which of the following is located exclusively in the renal pyramid?
a) afferent arteriole
b) renal column
c) vasa recta
d) proximal convoluted tubule
e) glomerulus - answer✔a - no, this is in the cortex going into the capsule
b - no, this is a supporting structure next to it
c - correct, it runs alongside the loop of Henle
d - no, this is in the cortex
