Which of the following organs is in the abdominopelvic cavity?
These are the general organs that lie within the abdominal cavity. The stomach, small intestine, large intestine, spleen, live, gallbladder. In the retroperitoneal area of the abdominal cavity, pancreas, kidneys, and adrenal glands.
What duct drains the kidney to the bladder?
Kidneys do not connect to the urinary bladder directly. They are connected via ureters. Ureters are the tubes that pass from kidneys to urinary bladder. You have pair or kidneys. You have one ureter for each kidney.
What are very small narrow tubes that carry blood around your body?
Veins
What body system is the pelvis in?
It is located at the base of the spine (properly known as the caudal end). The pelvis incorporates the socket portion of the hip joint for each leg (in bipeds) or hind leg (in quadrupeds). It forms the lower limb (or hind-limb) girdle of the skeleton.
Small network of tubes inside a cell that substances move along?
endoplasmic reticulum
Distal convoluted tubules flow directly into what structures?
The structures that distal tubes flow into are the collecting ducts of the kidneys. The collecting ducts are small tubes through which urine flows into the renal pelvis.
Where is the renal system located?
The renal or urinary system, comprising the kidneys, bladder and connecting tubes, is located in the back of the abdomen (kidneys) and inside the pelvis near the groin (bladder, urethra). The bladder is connected to the kidneys via a pair of tubes called ureters.
What parts of the kidney?
The outer, reddish region, next to the capsule, is the renal cortex. This surrounds a darker reddish-brown region called the renal medulla. The renal medulla consists of a series of renal pyramids, which appear striated because they contain straight tubular structures and blood vessels. The wide bases of the pyramids are adjacent to the cortex and the pointed ends, called renal papillae, are directed toward the center of the kidney. Portions of the renal cortex extend into the spaces between adjacent pyramids to form renal columns. The cortex and medulla make up the parenchyma, or functional tissue, of the kidney. The central region of the kidney contains the renal pelvis, which is located in the renal sinus and is continuous with the ureter. The renal pelvis is a large cavity that collects the urine as it is produced. The periphery of the renal pelvis is interrupted by cuplike projections called calyces. A minor calyx surrounds the renal papillae of each pyramid and collects urine from that pyramid. Several minor calyces converge to form a major calyx. From the major calyces the urine flows into the renal pelvis and from there into the ureter.Each kidney contains over a million functional units, called nephrons, in the parenchyma (cortex and medulla). The nephrons make up the bulk of the kidney tissue and join up with larger collecting tubes that eventually form the main urine-carrying duct - the ureter Each kidney has an indentation, called the hilum, on the medial side. The hilum leads to a large cavity, called the renal sinus, within the kidney. The ureter and renal vein leave the kidney, and the renal artery enters the kidney at the hilum.Malphigian body can be further divided into glomerulus and bowman's capsule,whereas renal tubules can be divided into proximal convoluted tubule, loop of henle, distal convoluted tubule and collecting tubule.
Mucoprotein excreted by the epithelial cells of the renal tubes?
Casts
What tissues does kidney cancer affect?
Kidney cancer primarily affects the tissues of the kidneys. The kidneys are vital organs responsible for filtering blood, removing waste products, and regulating fluid balance in the body. The two main types of kidney cancer are renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and transitional cell carcinoma (TCC), also known as urothelial cell carcinoma. The most common type is renal cell carcinoma. Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC): RCC originates in the lining of the small tubes (tubules) within the kidney. These tubules are part of the nephrons, the functional units of the kidneys. RCC accounts for the majority of kidney cancer cases (about 85-90%). Transitional Cell Carcinoma (TCC): TCC affects the renal pelvis, which is the part of the kidney where urine collects before moving into the ureter. TCC is less common than RCC and is more closely associated with cancers of the urinary system, such as bladder cancer. The tissues affected by kidney cancer can include: Renal Parenchyma: This is the functional tissue of the kidney, comprising the cortex and medulla. It is where the nephrons, responsible for filtering the blood and producing urine, are located. Renal Tubules: These small tubes within the nephrons are involved in the reabsorption and secretion of substances to maintain proper fluid and electrolyte balance. Renal Pelvis: In cases of transitional cell carcinoma, the cancer may affect the lining of the renal pelvis, which is the funnel-shaped structure that collects urine before it moves into the ureter.
What is the function of renal column?
Renal columns are bands of granular tissue that separate adjacent renal pyramids. They contain vessels and urinary tubes that run to the cortex.

What are the benefits of using small-bore tubes over large-bore tubes in enteral feeding?
The usage of small-bore tubes is more comfortable for the patient.
The branching tubes within the lungs end at small?
The branching tubes within the lungs end at small alveoli.
What are the small air tubes that lead to the alveoli called?
The tubes that connect the bronchi with the alveoli are the bronchioles.
When the entire pelvis is inflamed what is that condition?
Pelvic inflammatory disease is the medical term for the condition of inflammation of the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. It does not affect men.
