How is the tissue of the kidneys structurally modified to aid in filtration?
It has tubules and is porous
B. What is important functionally about transitional epithelium?

C. What is the function of the ureter? How does its structure support this function?
Covey urine from kidneys to bladder Enter base of bladder through posterior wall Strength and frequency of muscle contractions change with amount of urine present
D. What is the function of the urethra? How does its structure support this function?
Urethra drains urine from bladder to outside of body/ Urethra is longer in males(where it is also used to conduct semen) than in females.

Questions
A. What is the function of the fat that surrounds the kidneys?
The renal fat pat encases each kidney and holds it in position. The fat also acts as a protective barrier.
