7. The uterus is a pear-shaped, thick-walled, hollow organ that consists of a fundus, corpus, and cervix.(2)

8. The opening of the submandibular duct is located under the tongue near the lingual frenulum.(2)

Answer 1

• TRUE - The renal cortex is the outer portion of the kidney between the renal capsule and the renal medulla.
• TRUE - The renal papilla is the location where the renal pyramids in the medulla empty urine into the minor calyx in the kidney and then to the major calyx.
• TRUE - The nephron is the microscopic structural and functional unit of the kidney. It is composed of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule. The renal corpuscle consists of a tuft of capillaries called a glomerulus and an encompassing Bowman's capsule.
• TRUE
• FALSE - The urine glucose test involves taking a sample of urine. Once you provide your sample, a small cardboard device known as a dipstick will measure your glucose levels. The dipstick will change color depending on the amount of glucose in your urine.
• FALSE - The largest gland in the human also happens to be the biggest internal organ: the liver.
• TRUE
• TRUE - The submandibular duct, It runs forward deep to the mucosa of the floor of the mouth between the mucosa and the sublingual gland to open into the floor of the mouth on either side of the frenulum of the tongue. The duct, on the floor of the mouth, is closely related to the lingual nerve.
