Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Since the renal pelvis is continuous with the ureter at the end of the ureter; therefore, an infection in the ureters could travel to the renal pelvis. The renal capsule, cortex, and medulla are not continuous with the ureters.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
The two kidneys are located outside the peritoneal cavity and on either side of the vertebral column at the levels of T12 through L3, also termed the costovertebral angle.
