APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The collecting duct prepares the urine for transport out of the body, it is collected in the renal pelvis where it eventually enters the ureter. From there it goes to the bladder.

Detailed explanation-2: -Correct answer: Blood flows through the glomerulus, where high hydrostatic pressures force plasma through the fenestrations of the glomerular endothelium into Bowman’s capsule. The substance that ends up in the capsule is called the filtrate, which then moves to the proximal tubule.

Detailed explanation-3: -The first part is called the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) due to its proximity to the glomerulus; it stays in the renal cortex. The second part is called the loop of Henle, because it forms a loop (with descending and ascending limbs) that goes through the renal medulla.

Detailed explanation-4: -The first part of the tubule absorbs amino acids, glucose, lactate, and phosphate; the whole convolution absorbs sodium, potassium, calcium, and chloride and, by removing bicarbonate, acidifies the fluid slightly.
