question 7

before entering the ureters, urine collects in the ______.

o glomeruli
o renal pelvis
o renal cortex

Explanation:

Analyze the first question

The first question asks for the term that describes "the increased output of urine."

• dysuria means painful or difficult urination.
• diuresis means increased or excessive production of urine.
• oliguria means the production of abnormally small amounts of urine.
• anuria means the failure of the kidneys to produce urine.

Therefore, the correct term is diuresis.

Analyze the second question

The second question asks where urine collects "before entering the ureters."

• glomeruli are the filtering units of the kidney where filtration begins.
• renal pelvis is the funnel-like dilated part of the ureter in the kidney where urine collects from the calyces before entering the ureter.
• renal cortex is the outer portion of the kidney.
• urinary bladder is where urine collects after passing through the ureters.

Therefore, the correct location is the renal pelvis.
