Question 1

Where are the adrenal glands located?&#10;A) lateral to the kidneys&#10;B) medial to the kidneys&#10;C) inferior to the kidneys&#10;D) anterior to the kidneys

Accepted Answer

D

Question 2

Male pigs have a retractable penis that can be withdrawn into which orifice?&#10;A) external urogenital orifice&#10;B) renal capsule&#10;C) urinary bladder&#10;D) urogenital sinus

Accepted Answer

The retractable penis of male pigs is withdrawn into the external urogenital orifice, which is the external opening for both the urinary and genital tracts.

Question 3

Urine is transported from the kidneys to the urinary bladder via the ________.&#10;A) urogenital sinus&#10;B) fundus&#10;C) ureter&#10;D) urethra

Accepted Answer

Urine is transported from the kidney to the urinary bladder via the ureters. The urethra is the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body, but it does not transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder. The urogenital sinus is a common passageway for the urinary and reproductive systems in some species, but not in humans. The fundus is a term used to describe the upper portion of an organ, such as the uterus, and is not directly involved in urine transport.

Question 4

Identify the renal pelvis in the following figure.  &#10;A) A&#10;B) B&#10;C) C&#10;D) D

Accepted Answer

The answer of Identify the renal pelvis in the following...

Question 5

Which statement regarding the location of the kidneys is correct?&#10;A) The kidneys are located in the abdominal cavity outside of the peritoneal membrane.&#10;B) The kidneys are located in the thoracic cavity within the pleural membrane.&#10;C) The kidneys are located in the abdominal cavity within the peritoneal membrane.&#10;D) The kidneys are located in the thoracic cavity outside the pleural membrane.

Accepted Answer

The kidneys are located in the abdominal cavity but outside the peritoneal membrane, making them retroperitoneal organs.

Question 6

Where are the renal pyramids located in the kidney?&#10;A) in the renal hilum&#10;B) in the renal medulla&#10;C) in the renal cortex&#10;D) in the renal capsule

Accepted Answer

The renal pyramids are located in the renal medulla, which is the innermost part of the kidney. They are triangular structures made up of renal tubules and are responsible for producing urine.

Question 7

In a female pig, the vagina and the urethra empty into the ________.&#10;A) urinary bladder&#10;B) penis&#10;C) uterine horn&#10;D) urogenital sinus

Accepted Answer

In female pigs, the vagina and the urethra both empty into the urogenital sinus, which is a common opening for the urinary and reproductive systems. The urinary bladder is a separate structure that stores urine, and the uterus connects to the urogenital sinus through the cervix, not directly. And since pigs are not male, they do not have a penis. Therefore, the only correct answer is D, urogenital sinus.

Question 8

Which letter is marking a major calyx?  &#10;A) A&#10;B) B&#10;C) C&#10;D) D&#10;E) E

Accepted Answer

The major calyx is the large funnel-shaped structure that collects urine from the minor calyxes and transports it to the renal pelvis. In the given image, the major calyx is marked by letter C, which is the largest of all the structures labeled. Therefore, the correct answer is choice letter C.

Question 9

Identify the ureters in the following figure.  &#10;A) A&#10;B) B&#10;C) C&#10;D) D&#10;E) E

Accepted Answer

The answer of Identify the ureters in the following figure....

Question 10

The fibrous sac surrounding the kidney is called the ________.&#10;A) renal hilum&#10;B) adipose capsule&#10;C) renal capsule&#10;D) renal cortex

Accepted Answer

The renal capsule is a fibrous sac that surrounds the kidney and provides support and protection. The renal hilum is a notch on the medial surface of the kidney through which blood vessels and the ureter enter and exit. The adipose capsule is a layer of fat that surrounds the renal capsule and helps to cushion and protect the kidney. The renal cortex is the outer layer of the kidney, beneath the renal capsule.

Question 11

The triangular renal pyramids are separated by ________.&#10;A) minor calyces&#10;B) renal columns&#10;C) major calyces&#10;D) renal papilla

Accepted Answer

The answer of The triangular renal pyramids are separated by...

Question 12

Identify the urethra in the following figure.  &#10;A) A&#10;B) B&#10;C) C&#10;D) D&#10;E) E
