What is the pathway of the kidney?
Blood flows into your kidney through the renal artery. This large blood vessel branches into smaller and smaller blood vessels until the blood reaches the nephrons. In the nephron, your blood is filtered by the tiny blood vessels of the glomeruli and then flows out of your kidney through the renal vein.
Which is the correct order for the path taken by urine after it leaves the kidneys?
Kidney → ureters → bladder → urethra.
What is the path urine travels?
From the collecting ducts, the urine progresses to the renal pelvis, a widened area of the kidney, and exits through the ureter. The urine passes through the ureters to the urinary bladder. When the urinary bladder is full, the body releases urine through the urethra during urination, or micturition.

What is the outermost part of the kidney called?
The outer, reddish region, next to the capsule, is the renal cortex. This surrounds a darker reddish-brown region called the renal medulla.
Which of the following option correctly represents the pathway of urine starting from the organ of its formation?
Detailed Answer:The pathway of urine starting from the organ of its formation is :Kidney → Ureters → Urinary bladder → Ureihra.
Where is your bladder situated?
Bladder. This triangle-shaped, hollow organ is located in the lower abdomen. It is held in place by ligaments that are attached to other organs and the pelvic bones. The bladder’s walls relax and expand to store urine, and contract and flatten to empty urine through the urethra.
Which are parts of a renal tubule?
The components of the renal tubule are:
- Proximal convoluted tubule (lies in cortex and lined by simple cuboidal epithelium with brush borders which help to increase the area of absorption greatly.)
- Loop of Henle (hair-pin like, i.e. U-shaped, and lies in medulla)
- Distal convoluted tubule.
- Connecting tubule.
Where does the ureter penetrate the kidney quizlet?
Where does the ureter penetrate the kidney? The ureter, blood vessels, and nerves penetrate the kidney on its medial surface. The fibrous capsule is a layer of adipose tissue that surrounds the kidney.
