Trace a drop of water through the urinary system, beginning with the plasma in the renal artery.
What will be an ideal response?
Plasma in the renal artery flows into smaller branches, entering the arcuate arteries, which lead to the afferent arterioles, which in turn lead to the glomeruli. Water moves from glomeruli into the nephrons (PCT, loop of Henle, then DCT), into the collecting ducts, then renal calyces and into the renal pelvis, passes into a ureter, then to the urinary bladder; finally, it is expelled as urine through the urethra.
