I

abdominal aorta

A

adrenal gland

B

kidney

C

inferior vena cava

D

ureter

E

urinary bladder

F

abdominal aorta

G

urethra

These structures are not part of the urinary tract, but they produces hormones such as aldosterone and epinephrine.

 

                

adrenal glands

These structures filter blood and produce urine.

 

kidneys           

These structures transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder.

 

ureters           

This structure transports urine outside the body.

 

urethra           

This muscular organ holds urine until urination.

 

urinary bladder           

This vessel brings blood from aorta to kidney.

 

renal artery           

This vessel brings blood from kidney to inferior vena cava.

 

 renal vein           

A

ureter

B

renal pelvis

C

renal pyramid

D

calyx

E

renal cortex

F

renal column

small funnels that collect urine from pyramids

 

             calyx           

parts of the medulla that separate pyramids

renal columns

parts of the medulla that are triangle-shaped

 

             renal pyramids           

middle portion of the kidney, contains columns and pyramids

 

           

            renal medulla 

outer portion of the kidney

 

 

            renal cortex           

collects urine from calyces and funnels it into the ureter

 

renal pelvis

A

glomerulus

B

glomerular capsule

C

proximal convoluted tubule

D

descending nephron loop

E

ascending nephron loop

F

distal convoluted tubule

G

collecting duct

H

afferent arteriole

I

juxtaglomerular complex

J

efferent arteriole

K

podocyte

surrounds glomerulus and collects filtrate

 

             glomerular capsule           

filters blood and produces filtrate

glomerulus

secretes renin to increase blood pressure when it is low

 juxtaglomerular complex           

first portion of tubules, receives filtrate from capsule, reabsorbs most nutrients and electrolytes

 

             proximal convoluted tubule (PCT)           

receives filtrate from PCT, composed of descending and ascending portions

 

             nephron loop           

receives filtrate from nephron loop

 

distal convoluted tubule (DCT)

receives filtrate from DCT, reabsorbs water when ADH is present

 

 

            collecting duct           

Where does filtrate collect after leaving the glomerulus?

Glomerular capsule

Which structure comes after the glomerular capsule?

Proximal convoluted tubule

What structure comes after the proximal convoluted tubule?

Nephron loop

Which structure follows the nephron loop?

Distal convoluted tubule

Where does filtrate go after the distal convoluted tubule?

Collecting duct

What structure collects urine from the collecting ducts?

Calyx

Where does urine go after the calyx?

Renal pelvis

Which tube carries urine from the kidney to the bladder?

Ureter

Where is urine stored before leaving the body?

Urinary bladder

What structure carries urine out of the body?

Urethra
