Question

The kidneys filter the blood by creating urine. The blood has to travel through these tissue cells to get into the kidney. There are lots of elastic tubes that the soon to be urine travels through while being filtered. The kidneys rely on blood pressure from the heart to move the liquid so lack muscle tissue. The kidneys do not control when you urinate as they simply pass the urine in to your bladder. Explain why the kidneys have each tissue listed below or why they don’t have each tissue.

Muscle Tissue :


Epithelial Tissue :


Nervous Tissue :


Connective Tissue :

Answer 1

Muscle Tissue : The kidneys rely on blood pressure to move, since they lack muscle tissue.

Epithelial Tissue : The kidneys contain simple cuboidal epithelial tissue, which secretes and absorbs. Thus absorbing toxins from blood to be turned to urine.

Nervous Tissue : Kidneys to not contain nervous tissue due to the fact that they do not control when you urinate, but rather simply just pass the urine to the bladder.

Connective Tissue : Kidneys do contain Connective Tissue, called renal fascia, in order to keep the many elastic tubes in place, and a capsule of renal fascia closely envelopes each kidney to protect, and provide support for each kidney inside.
