Q1. What are the two main microscopic subdivisions of the renal cortex?
- Renal pelvis and ureter
- Cortical labyrinth and medullary rays
- Capsule and perirenal fat
- Papilla and minor calyx
Q2. Which structures dominate the cortical labyrinth?
- Renal sinus fat and nerves
- Papillary ducts and minor calyces
- Urothelium and smooth muscle
- Renal corpuscles and convoluted tubules
Q3. What is contained within a medullary ray?
- Segmental arteries only
- Straight tubules and collecting ducts
- Major calyces
- Renal corpuscles only
Q4. Which arteries arch along the corticomedullary junction?
- Interlobar arteries
- Arcuate arteries
- Gonadal arteries
- Renal capsular arteries
Q5. Which arteries arise from arcuate arteries and extend into the cortex?
- Segmental arteries
- Inferior phrenic arteries
- Lumbar arteries
- Cortical radiate arteries
Q6. Where are superficial cortical renal corpuscles located relative to the renal surface?
- Inside the renal papilla
- Within the renal pelvis
- In the outer cortex near the capsule
- Inside a major calyx
Q7. Where are juxtamedullary renal corpuscles located?
- Deep cortex near the corticomedullary junction
- Tip of the renal papilla
- Renal sinus fat
- Fibrous capsule
Q8. Which capillary network primarily surrounds cortical tubules?
- Hepatic sinusoids
- Peritubular capillaries
- Pulmonary capillaries
- Coronary sinuses
Q9. How does the renal cortex contribute to renal columns?
- It extends between pyramids as renal columns
- It becomes the renal pelvis
- It turns into perirenal fat
- It forms the fibrous capsule
Q10. Which statement best describes the cortex-medulla boundary?
- It is the junction between kidney and adrenal gland
- It is the boundary between renal fascia and peritoneum
- It is the opening of the ureter into the bladder
- It is the interface between cortex and the bases of renal pyramids
