Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The trigone is a smooth triangular area between the openings of the two ureters and the urethra. This description is not associated with the orifice of a ureter, the inner area of the kidney, or a part of the loop of Henle.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
In the male, the prostatic urethra is closest to the bladder; the membranous follows after the prostatic; the cavernous follows after the membranous. The vas deferens is not a portion of the male urethra.
