Portage Learning Anatomy & Physiology II: Module 7 Exam
1. True or False: The bladder drains into the ureters.: False (the urethra)
2. True or False: The kidneys are long, thin muscular tubes: False
3. A person sustained blunt force trauma to the back at the T5 level, with no
spinal cord injury. Would you suspect the kidneys to be damaged? Why or why not?: No,
the kidneys are located between T-12 and L-3
4. Discuss two features of the bladder that allow for expansion.: -Rugae (folds in the
bladder wall) also extend to help the capacity of the bladder internally.
-Transitional epithelium cells are specialized to enable cellular expansion to absorb fluid.
5. Describe the consistency and purpose of the renal fascia.: The purpose is to help keep
the kidneys in place in the abdominal cavity. It's consistency is of dense fibrous
connective tissue.
6. Describe the consistency and purpose of the renal adipose capsule.: Outside of the
renal capsule is a fatty layer that protects the kidneys from trauma.
7. Describe the consistency and purpose of the renal capsule.: The renal capsule is a tough
fibrous outer skin of the kidney which protects it from injury and infection.
8. Several extensions of the renal pelvis called calyces collect urine which drains
continuously into the renal pelvis and subsequently into the ureter, which transports
the urine to the bladder to be stored.: Name the layer and discuss the purpose of its
extensions in the the region highlighted in blue, below.
9. Located within the cortex are the glomerular capsule and the distal and proximal
convoluted tubule sections of the nephrons.: Name the layer and the parts of the
nephrons located in the region highlighted in green, below.

10. The renal medulla which is divided into sections called pyramids that point
towards the center of the kidney.: Name the layer and the parts of the nephrons located
in the region highlighted in blue, below.
