Question

a renal corpuscle is a, whereas a renal tubule is a.multiple choicestorage area for urine; tubule that carries urine from the urinary bladder outsideglandular structure that regulates blood pressure; blood vessel that regulates the flow of blood into the glomerulusspecial blood cell in the kidneys; tubule that leads from the kidneys to the bladdercluster of blood capillaries and glomerular capsule, highly coiled tubule exiting the glomerular capsule

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

A renal corpuscle consists of a cluster of blood capillaries (glomerulus) and the glomerular capsule (Bowman's capsule). The renal tubule is a highly coiled tubule that exits the glomerular capsule. The other options are incorrect:

  • The urinary bladder is the storage area for urine, and the urethra carries urine from the urinary bladder outside.
  • The juxtaglomerular apparatus (a glandular structure) regulates blood pressure, and the afferent arteriole regulates blood flow into the glomerulus.
  • A renal corpuscle is not a special blood cell, and the ureter leads from the kidneys to the bladder.

Answer:

cluster of blood capillaries and glomerular capsule; highly coiled tubule exiting the glomerular capsule.
