When a kidney is cut lengthwise, three distinct regions become apparent. the outer region is light in color, while the deeper "middle" region is darker reddish-brown. the inner deepest region is flat and tube-like?

In the cross-section of a kidney, there are three main regions that become apparent. The outer region is called the "renal cortex", this is where the capillaries are mainly located. The deeper and darker region, that looks like small pyramids arranged in a semicircle is called the "renal medulla", where the filtering of the blood takes place. The flat, tube-like structure is called the "renal pelvis".

If these are the missing choices: a. to determine skin temperature, place the back of your hand against the patient's skin.b. determine body temperature by touching the patient's hands and feet.c. skin temperature will tell you very little about this patient's condition or well-being.d. the patient's skin temperature and color will likely be warm and red.my answer is: a. to determine skin temperature, place the back of your hand against the patient's skin. using the back of the hand to check for temperature rather than the palm is more effective because the back of the hand has more nerves that can feel and transmit the temperature than the palm.
