Structure of the Kidney
Exercise #54
Complete pages pages 445-452 plus histology drawings of the
On page 452 part C draw the cortex
On part D replace medulla drawings of the with the ureters and the bladder
 |
This lab is to allow you to become familiar with the location and anatomy of the urinary system. |
|
Look at and label with sticky paper the full size models, and the sheep kidneys. |
|
There are schematics of histology in Exercise 54 and you can use the histology cards and atlas in the front of the room. |
|
Both models and sheep kidneys will appear on your practical so you will want to view both |
|
Plus view all of the slides and know the location of all of the listed structures |
