  • b)
    Henle's loop
  • c)
    Distal convoluted tuble
  • d)
    Collecting duct
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Ananya Das answered
The uriniferous tubule or the kidney tubule is a fine, long, convoluted tubule that is involved in excretory functions. This tubule basically conveys urine from the glomerulus to the renal pelvis. A large amount of water and salts are reabsorbed during the passage of urine through it At certain locations in the kidney tubule, some ions are also secreted into the urine. It includes the Henle's loop, the DCT and PCT, and the collecting tubule.
So, the correct answer is 'Glomerulus'.

Rohit Shah answered
Visceral peritoneum. a continuation of the parietal peritoneum reflected at various places over the viscera, forming a complete covering for the stomach, spleen, liver, intestines from the distal duodenum to the upper end of the rectum, uterus, and ovaries; it also partially covers some other abdominal organs.

Which is false
  • a)
    Nephron-Excretion
  • b)
    Alveoli-Respiration
  • c)
    Kidney-osmoregulation
  • d)
    Renin-Zymogen
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Devika Chavan answered
False statement: Renin-Zymogen

Explanation:
• Nephron-Excretion: Nephron is the functional unit of the kidney which removes waste products from the body in the form of urine. Hence, this statement is true.
• Alveoli-Respiration: Alveoli are the tiny air sacs present in the lungs where exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) takes place during respiration. Hence, this statement is true.
• Kidney-osmoregulation: The kidneys regulate the water balance in the body by filtering excess water and salts from the blood and excreting them in the form of urine. Hence, this statement is true.
• Renin-Zymogen: Renin is an enzyme secreted by the kidneys that plays a role in regulating blood pressure by converting angiotensinogen (a plasma protein) into angiotensin I. It is not a zymogen (inactive precursor of an enzyme). Hence, this statement is false.

Therefore, the false statement is option D - Renin-Zymogen.

Nephron is also known as
  • a)
    Juxta glomerular tubule
  • b)
    Seminiferous tubule
  • c)
    Uriniferous tubule
  • d)
    All
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

The nephron plus the collecting tubule and collecting duct makes the uriniferous tubule (anatomofunctional unit of the kidney).The uriniferous tubule consists of the nephron and the collecting ducts.The nephron consists of the renal corpuscle(glomerulus and the Bowman’s capsule), proximal convoluted tubules, loop of henle(thick, thin and thick portions) and the distal convoluted tubule.so we can't say nephron is also known as Uriniferous tubules

This artery passes blood to the kidney
  • a)
    common iliac
  • b)
    cystic
  • c)
    renal
  • d)
    coeliac
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Sushil Kumar answered
renal artery: These arise off the side of the abdominal aorta, immediately below the superior mesenteric artery, and supply the kidneys with blood.
renal vein: The veins that drain the kidney and connect the kidney to the inferior vena cava.

Malpighian corpuscles occur in
[CPMT 87]
  • a)
    Medulla
  • b)
    Cortex
  • c)
    Pelvis
  • d)
    Pyramid
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Malpighian corpuscles are a number of small, round, deep-red bodies in the cortex of the kidney, each communicating with a renal tubule. Malpighian corpuscles average about 0.2 mm in diameter. Each capsule is composed of two parts: a central glomerulus and a glomerular capsule or Bowman's capsule. The corpuscles are part of a filtering system through which nonprotein components of blood plasma enter the tubules for urinary excretion.

 Haemodialysis is associated with
  • a)
    Kidney
  • b)
    Spleen
  • c)
    Stomach
  • d)
    Liver
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Raghav Bansal answered
Haemodialysis is associated with the kidneys. This type of dialysis achieves the extracorporeal removal of waste products such as creatinine and urea and free water from the blood when the kidneys are in a state of kidney failure. Hemodialysis is one of three renal replacement therapies (the other two being kidney transplant and peritoneal dialysis).

The following substances are the excretory products in animals. Choose the least toxic form among them?
  • a)
    Urea
  • b)
    Uric acid
  • c)
     Ammonia
  • d)
    Carbon dioxide
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Anshu Saha answered
The least toxic form among the excretory products in animals is uric acid.

Explanation:
• Animals excrete waste products that are formed during metabolic processes.
• The excretory products are mainly classified into three types: ammonia, urea, and uric acid.
• Ammonia is highly toxic and water-soluble. It is excreted by aquatic animals, but not by terrestrial animals because of its toxicity.
• Urea is less toxic than ammonia and water-soluble. It is excreted by most terrestrial animals, including humans.
• Uric acid is the least toxic form among the three. It is insoluble in water and is excreted in the form of a paste or a solid.
• Uric acid is the excretory product of birds, reptiles, and insects. It is also excreted by some other animals, such as snails and spiders.
• Uric acid is less toxic than ammonia and urea because it requires less water for its excretion.
• The excretion of uric acid conserves water, which is essential for survival in arid environments.
• In humans, excess uric acid can lead to gout, a painful condition caused by the deposition of uric acid crystals in the joints.

Therefore, uric acid is the least toxic form among the excretory products in animals.

Sulphates phosphates and carbonates of calcium are excreted by
  • a)
    Kidney
  • b)
    Liver
  • c)
    Spleen
  • d)
    Colon
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Riya Banerjee answered
Most kidney stones are calcium stones, usually in the form of calcium oxalate, phosphate, or maleate. Urinary sulfate is a reflection of dietary protein intake, particularly meat, fish, and poultry, which are rich in sulfur-containing amino acids methionine and cysteine. Urinary sulfate can be used to assess dietary protein intake for nutritional purposes. A protein-rich diet has been associated with an increased risk for stone formation. Some patients form stones that are composed of a mixture of magnesium, ammonium, phosphate, and calcium carbonate, which is known as struvite. These stones form as a result of infection with certain types of bacteria that can produce ammonia.CORRECT OPTION IS (D).

A renal corpuscle is :
  • a)
    malpighian body
  • b)
    malpighian tubule
  • c)
    nephron
  • d)
    Bowman’s capsule
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Renal corpuscle, also called malpighian body, filtration unit of vertebrate nephrons, functional units of the kidney. It consists of a knot of capillaries (glomerulus) surrounded by a double-walled capsule (Bowman's capsule) that opens into a tubule.

Bile pigments are formed in
  • a)
    Liver
  • b)
    Spleen
  • c)
    Every body cells
  • d)
    1 & 2 both
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Om Desai answered
That liver forms bile pigment but the question arises when spleen gets involved. spleen is considered as the graveyard of RBC, so when the damaged, ruptured RBC get stuck in spleen they break down into simpler substances and one of the break down products are bile pigments

Which blood vessel takes blood away from the kidney? 
  • a)
    Renal portal vein 
  • b)
    Renal vein 
  • c)
    Afferent arteriole 
  • d)
    Efferent arteriole
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Ramesh Chand answered
The renal vein takes blood away from the kidney. The process starts with renal artery which enters the kidney as afferent arteriole. It carries the urea loaded blood into the glomerulus of the kidney. The blood is filtered by the glomerulus into the Bowman's capsule and runs parallel to the loop of Henle. The urea is absorbed into the nephric filtrate by the process of tubular secretion in the loop of Henle, distal convulated tubule and collecting duct. The process of tubular secretion helps to secrete the urea from the blood to the collecting duct which is finally excreted in form of urine. The purified blood comes from the kidney through the renal vein and drained into vena cava outside kidney.
So, the correct answer is 'Renal vein'.

Renal papilla is the part of :–
  • a)
    Minor calyx
  • b)
    Pelvis
  • c)
    Pyramid
  • d)
    Major calyx
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Rohit Shah answered
Kidney, with renal papilla labeled at upper right. The renal papilla is the location where the renal pyramids in the medulla empty urine into the minor calyx in the kidney. Histologically it is marked by medullary collecting ducts converging to form a papillary duct to channel the fluid.

  • a)
    efferent, afferent
  • b)
    radial, collecting
  • c)
    distributing, collecting
  • d)
    afferent, efferent
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Rohan Singh answered
Our nervous system has different types of neurons that are constantly at work. Neurons that receive information from our sensory organs (e.g. eye, skin) and transmit this input to the central nervous system are called afferent neurons. Neurons that send impulses from the central nervous system to your limbs and organs are called efferent neurons. 

Therefore, as the afferent neurons convey the sensory stimulus to the brain (like burning sensation of a candle), the efferent neurons convey the motor stimulus to the muscles (moving the hand away from the candle). To sum it up: Afferent = Receive and Efferent = Act.
The tracts that are conveying sensations up to the brain are also referred to as the ascending tracts. Going in the opposite direction than the ascending tracts, the tracts linking the brain to all the muscles and organs of the body are called descending tracts. 

Which types of fibers are damaged after a spinal cord injury determine the individual failures. If motor (= efferent) fibers are destroyed, you are not able to lift your leg, because the command can’t be transmitted from the brain to the muscles in the leg. If sensory (= afferent) fibers are affected, you and your brain won’t be notified by the sensory organs, e.g. if somebody strikes your leg. In fact, mostly a combination of efferent and afferent fibers is damaged after a spinal cord injury. 

The hormone with enzymatic action which catalyses conversion of angiotensinogen into angiotensin is :
  • a)
    ANF
  • b)
    Renin
  • c)
    JFA
  • d)
    Aldosterone
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Sapna Patel answered
Angiotensin  is produced by the action of renin (an enzyme produced by the kidneys) on a protein called angiotensinogen, which is formed by the liver.

Excretion is
[CPMT 80]
  • a)
    Removal of substances not required by body
  • b)
    Removal of useless substances and susbtances present in excess
  • c)
    Formation of substances having some role in body
  • d)
    All the above
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Suresh Reddy answered
Excretion is the process by which the body gets rid of waste products and the nitrogenous by-products of metabolism. Through excretion, organisms control osmotic pressure, the balance between inorganic ions and water, and maintain acid-base balance. The process thus promotes homeostasis.
Excretion is the disposal of overabundance particles, water, and metabolic squander from the body. As in all life forms, excretion in creepy crawlies serves to advance the suitable guideline (homeostasis) of the intracellular condition as the way to organismal prosperity and endurance.
Hence, the right answer is option b "removal of useless  substances present in excess."

Select the option that correctly identifies the parts lateral from A to F in the given figure of nephron.
  • a)
    a
  • b)
    b
  • c)
    c
  • d)
    d
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Pinky Kumari answered
Nephron functional unit of kidney the structure that actually produces urin in the process of removing waste and excess substance from the blood.there are about 1000,000 nephron in each human kidney. nephron is the minet or microscope the renal cropuscle consists of a tuft of capillaries called a glomerulus and a cup- shaped structure called bowmens there types of nephron can be distinguished superficial ,midcortical and juxtamedullary nephron. A healthy adults has 1 to 1.5 million nephron per kidney. sir William bowmen first baronet discovered nephron .

Which blood vessel contains the least amount of urea
[CPMT 84]
  • a)
    Hepatic vein
  • b)
    Renal vein
  • c)
    Hepatic portal vein
  • d)
    Renal artery
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Meera Singh answered
Hepatic vein is the vein which carries the blood from the liver. 
Hepatic portal vein supplies blood from liver to intestine. 
Dorsal aorta is the renal artery which supplies blood to the kidney. 
The blood in the renal vein will contain less urea than the renal artery, because having passed through the kidney, urea leaves the blood through pressure filtration at the glomerulus with only a small amount being passively reabsorbed at the proximal convoluted tubule.
Thus, the correct answer is option B

During micturition, the muscles of urinary bladder and urethral sphincters will
  • a)
    contract and relax respectively.
  • b)
    none of these
  • c)
    show fatigue
  • d)
    relaxand contract respectively.
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Jyoti Desai answered
Micturition is the process of voiding urine from the body. During this process, the muscles of the urinary bladder and urethral sphincters play a crucial role in controlling the flow of urine. The correct answer to the given question is option 'A', i.e., the muscles of the urinary bladder will contract, and the urethral sphincters will relax.

Explanation:

The process of micturition involves the following steps:

1. Filling of the urinary bladder: The urinary bladder is a muscular sac that stores urine until it is eliminated from the body. As the bladder fills with urine, its walls stretch, and the pressure inside the bladder increases.

2. Sensory input to the spinal cord: The stretch receptors in the bladder walls send signals to the spinal cord, indicating that the bladder is full.

3. Activation of the micturition reflex: The spinal cord processes the sensory input and generates a reflex response that activates the muscles of the bladder and urethral sphincters.

4. Contraction of the bladder muscles: The muscles of the bladder wall contract, forcing urine out of the bladder and into the urethra.

5. Relaxation of the urethral sphincters: The urethral sphincters, which are circular muscles that control the flow of urine through the urethra, relax, allowing urine to pass out of the body.

Therefore, during micturition, the muscles of the urinary bladder will contract, and the urethral sphincters will relax to allow the flow of urine out of the body.

Inner wall of urinary bladder is composed of
  • a)
    Unstriped muscles
  • b)
    Striped muscles
  • c)
    Stratified epithelium
  • d)
    Transitional epithilium
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Rajeev Saxena answered
The inner lining of the urinary bladder is a mucous membrane of transitional epithelium that is continuous with that in the ureters. ... The second layer in the walls is the submucosa, which supports the mucous membrane. It is composed of connective tissue with elastic fibers.

 Dialysing unit (artificial kidney) contains a fluid which is almost the same as plasma except that it has
  • a)
    High uric acid
  • b)
    High glucose
  • c)
    High urea
  • d)
    No urea
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Artificial kidney (Dialysing unit ) is a machine that is used for filtration of blood in the people whose kidneys are failed or damaged by the process called Dialysis.
Dialysis fluid is produced by the blending of treated water with electrolytes at the patient's bedside. The composition of the dialysis fluid should match that of plasma except for the nitrogenous waste (urea).
So the answer is 'No urea'.

In human minor calyx number is :–
  • a)
    Uncountable
  • b)
    8 to 14
  • c)
    Equal to pyramid number
  • d)
    Depends on major calyx number.
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Jyoti Kapoor answered
The minor calyces surround the apex of the renal pyramids. Urine formed in the kidney passes through a renal papilla at the apex into the minor calyx; two or three minor calyces converge to form a major calyx, through which urine passes before continuing through the renal pelvis into the ureter.

Nitrogenous waste products are eliminated mainly as -
[AIPMT 91]
  • a)
    Urea in tadpole & ammonia in adult frog
  • b)
    Ammonia in tadpole and urea in adult frog
  • c)
    Urea in both tadpole & adult frog.
  • d)
    Urea in tadpole and uric acid in adult frog.
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Pooja Shah answered
Animals that excrete excess nitrogen in the form of ammonia are called ammonotelic. Excretion of ammonia occurs in aquatic animals (aquatic invertebrates, fishes, larvae, permanently aquatic amphibia). The route of ammonia diffusion in these animals is through skin, gills or kidneys. In mammals and semi terrestrial adult amphibians, urea is a major nitrogenous excretory product, therefore these animals are called ureotelic.

Where are the kidneys situated?
  • a)
    Between the 7th and 10th ribs
  • b)
    Between the 8th and 9th ribs
  • c)
    Between the last thoracic and third lumbar vertebra
  • d)
    Between the first and second thoracic vertebra
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Kidneys are reddish-brown, bean-shaped structures situated between the levels of the last thoracic and third lumbar vertebra close to the dorsal inner wall of the abdominal cavity.
