The First Structure in the Kidney to Collect Newly Formed

Question

The first structure in the kidney to collect newly formed urine is the
A) Renal capsule
B) Minor calyx
C) Renal pelvis
D) Renal sinus
E) Renal cortex

Accepted Answer

The minor calyx is the first structure in the kidney to collect newly formed urine. It is responsible for collecting urine from the renal papilla and directing it into the major calyx, which then funnels it into the renal pelvis. The other options (renal capsule, renal pelvis, renal sinus, and renal cortex) are all structures within the kidney but are not responsible for collecting newly formed urine.
