4016 Lab – Urinary System Anatomy
Remember to use your APR to identify urinary system anatomy!
Activity 1 – Renal and Urinary Anatomy
Type the number of the following structures using the numbered lines in the diagram in the lab book:
_8__ abdominal aorta
_2__ hilum of the kidney
_3__ inferior vena cava
_7__ kidney
_6__ renal artery
_1__ renal vein
_9__ ureter
_5__ urethra
_4__ urinary bladder
Type the number of the following structures using the numbered lines in the diagram in the lab book of a cross section of the kidney:
_4__ capsule
_3__ cortex
_6__ major calyx
_2__ medulla
_5__ minor calyx
_7__ pelvis
_8__ renal column
_9__ renal pyramid
_1__ ureter
Type the number of the following structures using the numbered lines in the diagram in the lab book of the nephron:
_10__ afferent arteriole
_8__ collecting duct
_4__ distal convoluted tubule
_9__ efferent arteriole
_3__ glomerular capsule
_2__ glomerulus
_6__ nephron loop
_5__ peritubular capillaries
_1__ proximal convoluted tubule
_11__ renal papilla
_7__ vasa recti
Activity 3 – Matching
Number the following urinary system parts in the order a molecule of urea on its way to being excreted would pass through them. Some will not be used. Numbers 1 and 12 have been done for you. (You can also use the letters A through E to indicate the flow of an RBC through a healthy kidney).
1 a afferent arteriole _4___ proximal convoluted tubule
_3_c__ Bowman’s capsule _8___ renal calyx
_7___ collecting duct _9___ renal pelvis
_6___ distal convoluted tubule __e__ renal vein
_c___ efferent arteriole _10___ ureter
_2___ glomerulus 12 urethra
_5___ loop of Henle _11___ urinary bladder
_d___ peritubular capillaries
Between which two parts above does filtration occur? glomerulus
Glucose is an example of a useful molecule that filters out of the blood, but must be reclaimed by selective
