The diagram above shows a kidney section: what is the arrow indicating
The renal capsule
1 of 15
The renal pelvis becomes narrower at its distal aspect to form
The ureter
2 of 15
The renal pyramids are embedded in the
The renal medulla
3 of 15
The functional units (the nephrons) are packed neatly into
All nephrons traverse both regions, some have more of their loop structure located in the medulla

The diagram below shows a nephron. What is true of label B
Proximal convoluted tube helps the bloodstream reabsorb the largest proportion of filtrate constituents including water, glucose, amino acids vitamins and several ions
6 of 15
What is the purpose of the diameter difference observed between the efferent and the afferent arteriole
A and B are correct (To control blood flow volume to and from the glomerulus & To control blood pressure and maintain the appropriate pressure to modify filtration)

The glomerulus and Bowman’s capsule
11 of 15
The minor calyces are the visible continuum of which microscopic structures
The collecting ducts
12 of 15
The glomerular network vessels are made of
Two epithelial layers and one basement layer 3 membranes in total each with different size pores

A healthy GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is in the order of
120ml/min
14 of 15
In order for glomerular filtration to be possible, the pressure within the vessels must NOT fall below
50mmHg
