Question

question 1

urine is produced in microscopic functional units of each kidney called __________.

ureters
uremia
urethra
nephrons

question 2

in the male, the __________ carries both urine and semen.

renal pelvis
prostate gland
urethra
ureter

Explanation:

Identify functional units of the kidney

Using the Renal Anatomy knowledge point

• The microscopic functional units of each kidney responsible for urine formation are the nephrons.
• Ureters transport urine from kidneys to the bladder.
• Uremia is a clinical condition of high urea in the blood.
• The urethra drains urine from the bladder.

Identify the shared male urogenital pathway

Using the Male Reproductive Anatomy knowledge point

• In males, the urethra serves as the common conduit for both urine and semen.
• The renal pelvis collects urine from the kidney.
• The prostate gland secretes fluid but does not carry urine/semen externally.
• The ureter carries urine from the kidney to the bladder.

Answer:

Question 1

• ureters
• uremia
• urethra
