Trace the flow of filtrate/urine starting with the production of filtrate at the glomerulus and ending outside the body. Be sure to name ALL the structures involved (0.25 pt/blank) After passing through the filtration membrane, the filtrate is collected in the [a1]. From here, it gets funneled to  –> [a2] –> [a3] –> [a4] –> [a5] –> [a6] –> [a7] –> [a8] –> [a9] –> [a10] –> [a11] –> [a12] –> [a13] –> [a14] –> urine ends up outside of the body  

In the female, the ________ contains erectile tissue and is homologous to the male penis

This is the ESSAY QUESTION for the exam. Please answer the following prompt using complete sentences. You may write your answer in paragraph form and/or you may create numbered or bullet-point lists to help in answering the question.  Describe, at the level of detail discussed in class, the structure of (1) the renal corpuscle and (2) the filtration membrane within the renal corpuscle. In your answer, please be sure to include the following. What structures make up the renal corpuscle? Please name and describe all the structures that are part of the renal corpuscle. You should also name and describe the specialized cells, specific tissue types, and/or features that are part of these structures.  (4 points) Name and describe the three layers that form the filtration membrane within the renal corpuscle. (3 points)

In this question you will trace the pathway of sperm cells, starting in the SPECIFIC structures where they are produced and ending outside the body (0.25 pt/blank)   Please name the organ AND the specific part of the organ in which sperm are produced: [a1]. After they are produced, sperm pass from the structure you just named through the following structures of the male reproductive system: [a2] –> [a3] –> [a4] –>[a5] (the 4th structure is where sperm gain the ability to swim) –> [a6] –> [a7] –> [a8] –> [a9] –> [a10] –> [a11] –> sperm end up outside of the body
