Yes you should.

You should at least know the following:

Capsule - protective covering of the kidney
Medulla - where most reabsorption occurs
(Show the position of a nephron)
Ureter - tube carrying urine to the bladder
Pelvis - where collecting ducts empty urine
Cortext - where filtration occurs.

Hope I helped! Good luck on monday! It's gonna be a toughy! :(
