Question 1 pts
Describe the location of the hilus and its significance.
Your Answer:
the hilus is a concave clef of the kidney, and it is the point where the
ureters, blood vessels, and nerves enter the kidney
The hilus is a concave cleft, and it is at this point where the
ureters, blood vessels, and nerves enter the kidney.
Question 2 pts
,Describe the functions of the nephron.
Your Answer:
the function of the nephron is to control the concentration of the water
and the soluble materials by filtering the blood, reabsorbing needed
materials and excreting waste products as urine, the nephron hereby
eliminates wastes from the body, regulates blood volume, PH and
pressure , and controls the levels of electrolytes
The function of the nephron is to control the concentration
of water and soluble materials by filtering the blood,
reabsorbing needed materials and excreting waste products
as urine. The nephron thereby eliminates wastes from the
body, regulates blood volume, pH and pressure, and
controls the levels of electrolytes.
Question 3 pts
Name the structures of the nephron and describe their individual
functions.
Your Answer:
, Each nephron consist of two parts , the glomeruli capsule renal
corpuscle and the renal tubule. these two structures are connected
through the tubule to the associated collecting ducts.
the glomerular capsule renal corpuscle filters the blood, while the renal
tubule reabsorbs needed materials, and the collecting ducts carry the
reaming material away as urine to be excreted
Each nephron consists of two parts, the glomerular capsule
(renal corpuscle) and the renal tubule. These two structures
are connected (through the tubule) to the associated
collecting ducts. The glomerular capsule (renal corpuscle)
filters the blood, while the renal tubule reabsorbs needed
materials, and the collecting ducts carry the remaining
material away as urine to be excreted.
Question 4 pts
Compare and contrast the renal cortex and renal medulla. Discuss the
structures found in each.
Your Answer:
the outer cortex houses the glomeruli and the convoluted tubules
proximal and distal of the nephron as well as blood vessels. the inner
medulla is comprised of the loop of Henle of the nephron and cone-
shaped masses also know as the renal pyramids
