Question
Chapter 25.2, Problem 3BYGO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The arrangement of the given structures from the most numerous to least numerous in the kidneys. The structures are glomeruli, major calyx, minor calyx, cortical radiate arteries, and interlobar arteries.
Introduction:
The function of the excretory system is to remove the waste of the body. It maintains the chemical composition of the body fluids by removing the unwanted components and maintaining the level of water and electrolytes in the body. Moreover, the level of water in the body is maintained by the excretory system.

PLEASE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS 1 AND 2. THANK YOU!
1. Why are females more likely to contract bladder infections than males? Discuss the anatomical differences between the females and males, which may account for the prior being more at risk of urinary tract infections.
2. Generally, what types of molecules and in which direction (from blood to tubules or tubules to blood) do molecules move during each of the three processes involved in urine formation:
✓ glomerular filtration
✓ tubular reabsorption
✓ tubular secretion
