URINARY SYSTEM

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the function of the renal pelvis?
A
Filters blood as it passes through the glomerulus
B
Changes the color of urine to tell you if you are correctly hydrated.
C
To transport urine out of the body
D
To collect urine as it is first filtered in the kidney
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This funnel-shaped structure collects urine and passes it down two ureters. Urine travels from the ureters to the bladder, where it’s stored.

Detailed explanation-2: -The waste products filtered from the blood are then concentrated into urine. The urine is collected in the renal pelvis. The ureters move the urine to the bladder, where it is stored. Urine is passed out of the bladder and the body through the urethra.

Detailed explanation-3: -The large end of the pelvis has roughly cuplike extensions, called calyces, within the kidney-these are cavities in which urine collects before it flows on into the urinary bladder.

Detailed explanation-4: -The PECs forms a watertight cuplike enclosure called the Bowman’s capsule. Primary urinary filtrate collects within the Bowman’s capsule and empties through a connected series of epithelial tubules starting from the proximal tubules, the loop of Henle, the distal tubules, and a final collecting duct.
