Renal 1: Intro & Histology

True or False: Juxtamedullary nephrons are the nephrons primarily responsible for concentrating urine and thus receive the greatest blood flow.

Which of the following structures would you find in the renal cortex?

The border of the inner and out stripes of the outer medulla is formed by the junction of which two parts of the uriniferous tubule?

Which of the following is NOT a function of the kidney?

Starting from the aorta, place in the correct order the blood vessels that oxygenated blood would encounter in juxtamedullary glomeruli:(e.g. I, II, III, ... not all answer choices are necessarily used)
I: afferent arteriole
II: vasa recta
III:interlobar artery
IV: efferent arteriole
V: cortical radial artery
VI: peritubular capillaries

True or False: All glomeruli conduct their filtration in the renal cortex.

Descending vasa recta typically take their origin from the...

These cells act as "renal macrophages" to remave trapped material from the basement membrane.

Place the parts of the nephron in the correct order, starting from filtration and ending with excretion: (e.g. I, II, III, IV, ...)
I: Bowman's capsule
II: Thick ascending loop of Henle
III: Thin descending loop of Henle
IV: Glomerulus
V: Straight proximal tube
VI: Papillary duct
VII: Distal convoluted tubule

Which one of these pairings is not correct?

True or false: Vasa recta have both smooth muscle and a fenestrated epithelium.

True or False: The kidneys receive their primary innervation from the vagal nerve.

A pituitary tumor would ultimately have the greatest effect on which area of the nephron?

Which of the following are not part of the "juxtaglomerular apparatus"?
