7. Fill in the blanks in the following text to describe the anatomy of kidney The kidney parenchyma is divided into an outer layer called the renal [1 conical [2) of each (2) empties into a cup-like urine receptacle called a (4) major calices, which unite at the renal [S] leaves the kidney. The [6] and about 6 to 10 which together compose the renal [3] -. The apex These converge on 2 or 3 , a single, funnellike collection point before the urine is a muscular tube that arises from the [5) exits the kidney through a slit on its concave surface called the [7) bladder below Urine is produced by about 1.2 million units called [8] blood enters the kidney by way of the renal artery, flows through interlobar arteries between the [2] and leads to the urinary in each kidney. To get to one of these, artery, which turns 90 and travels along the , and then into a/an [9] cortic-o-medullary junction. This artery gives off several interlobular arteries, which pass up into the corte these at intervals are the [10 supplies blood to a capillary bed called the [11] . Each (10 , and a/an [12] carries blood away from it. This capllary bed is where urine production begins. Vesse , one for each [8) [12) gives rise to another capillary bed, the [13] before blood enters the veins and begins its journey out of the kidney The (10) capsule. At its This continues which descends into the renal medulla, the cortex, then gives rise to a short coiled tubule called the (17) is enclosed in a double-walled [14) urinary pole, this capsule gives rise to a long coled duct called the (1 as a long, narrow, U-shaped duct, the (16) turns 180° and returns to This is the end of the [8] The [17] of several nephrons empty into a [18) which passes down a [2) and empties into a minor calyx. At the junction of the 10, 12, and 17, there is a (19) apparatus called that monitors the salinity of the tubular fluid and adjusts nephron performance. capillary will be best suited in the glomerular apparatus?
