- merge into venules

A

peritubular capillaries

28
Q

  • end of renal tubule
A

distal convoluted tubule

35
Q
  • several renal tubules merge into one…..

- merge toward the apex of the pyramids

A

collecting duct

36
Q
  • receive filtrate from the collecting ducts
  • located in the renal papilla
  • dumps filtrate (urine now) into minor calyx
A

papillary duct

37
Q
  • paired organs in females

A

broad ligaments

43
Q
  • located at the inferior edge of the uterus
  • muscular opening to the uterus
  • dip inferiorly into vaginal canal
A
