A. Renal Structures
Write the renal structure that the phrase describes.
1. Urine-forming structure of the kidney. Nephron
2. Region of the kidney deep to cortex; contains collecting ducts. Renal Medulla
3. Extensions of renal cortex found in between renal pyramids. Renal Columns
4. Urine flowing through this structure drains into a minor calyx. Papillary Duct
5. Located between renal fascia and renal capsule. Adipose Capsule
6. Apex of renal pyramid. Renal Papilla
7. Urine flowing through this structure drains into the renal pelvis. Major Calyx
8. Vertical fissure in concave surface of kidney through which blood vessels and ureters
pass. Renal Hilum
9. Covers outer surface of kidney. Renal Capsule
10. Dense irregular connective tissue that covers the adipose capsule and attaches the kidney
to the abdominal wall. Renal Fascia
11. Receives urine from the major calyces. Renal Pelvis
12. Space within kidney that is adjacent to renal medulla, contains calyces and renal pelvis.
Renal Sinus
13. Cup-like structure that is located in renal sinus that receives urine from openings of
papillary ducts. Minor Calyx
14. Cone-shaped structures located within the renal medulla. Renal Pyramid
15. Outermost region of the kidney, contains renal corpuscles. Renal Cortex
B. Ureters, Urinary Bladder, and Urethra
Write the name of the structure that the phrase describes.
1. Detrusor muscle is the main muscle for this structure. Urinary Bladder
2. Region of male urethra that passes through the prostate gland. Prostatic Urethra
3. Two openings in posterior urinary bladder wall. Urethral Openings
4. Region of male urethra that passes through penis. Spongy Urethra
5. Area bounded by ureteral openings and internal urethral orifice. Trigone
6. Voluntary skeletal muscle in urogenital diaphragm that allows passage of urine to
exterior of body. External Urethral Sphincter
