Question 11. In mammals, the urinary bladder opens into the ________ .
  1.    uterus
  2.    urethra
  3.    urinary bladder
  4.    ureter
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> urethra
:
B
Urine produced in the kidneys passes through the ureters
to reach the urinary bladder. It is stored there until it is
released through the urethra.
In Mammals, The Urinary Bladder Opens Into The ________ .
Question 12. The micturition reflex ______.
  1.    Can be stimulated or inhibited by higher centers in the brain.
  2.    Is stimulated by increased pressure in the bladder.
  3.    Can be stimulated by irritation of the bladder or urethra.
  4.    All of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> All of these
:
D
Micturition is the process of urination, or flow of urine from the bladder through the urethra. When enough urine is accumulated in the bladder, it causes a stretch in the bladder walls. A threshold amount of this stretch causes a signal to be sent to the CNS. The CNS correlates the stretch information to volume of urine present and initiates what is called the micturition reflex. Conversely, an increased pressure in the bladder also stimulates it. It can also be stimulated by irritation of the bladder or urethra.
Question 13. Tubular secretion helps maintain a proper acid-base balance in the body, by removing which of the following, from blood?

  2.    Uric acid

  4.    Ammonia and creatinine
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> H+ ions and ammonia
:
C
Tubular secretion helps maintain a proper acid-base balance by removing H+ ions and ammonia from the blood.
Question 14. The outline of principal events of urination is given in random manner.
(1) Stretch receptors on the wall of urinary bladder send signals to the CNS.   
(2) The bladder fills with urine.             
(3) Micturition               
(4) CNS passes on motor messages to initiate the contraction  of smooth muscles of bladder and simultaneous  
relaxation of sphincter. The correct sequence of the event is:
  1.    1, 2, 3, 4
  2.    4, 3, 2, 1
  3.    2, 1, 4, 3
  4.    3, 2, 1, 4
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 2, 1, 4, 3
:
C
The bladder fills with urine. Stretch receptors on the wall of urinary bladder send signals to the CNS.
CNS passes on motor messages to initiate the contraction of smooth muscles of bladder and simultaneous
relaxation of sphincter. Micturition
Question 15. Match the parts of the Nephron.
Match The Parts Of The Nephron.
  1.    1 - Thin descending limb, 2 - Thin ascending limb, 3 - Thick ascending limb, 4 - Distal convoluted tubule
  2.    1 - Thick ascending limb, 2 - Thin ascending limb, 3 - Distal convoluted tubule, 4 - Thin descending limb
  3.    1 - Thick ascending limb, 2 - Thin descending limb, 3 - Thin ascending limb, 4 - Distal convoluted tubule
  4.    1 - Distal convoluted tubule,  2 - Thin ascending limb, 3 - Thick ascending limb, 4 - Thin descending limb
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 1 - Thin descending limb, 2 - Thin ascending limb, 3 - Thick ascending limb, 4 - Distal convoluted tubule
:
A
The Loop of Henle has four parts. These are the thick descending limb (not labeled), the thin descending limb shown here in (1), the thin ascending limb (2), and finally the thick ascending limb which is (3). The thick ascending limb joins with the next part of the nephron called the distal convoluted tubule (4).
Question 16. What is glycosuria? 
  1.    Low amount of sugar in urine
  2.    Low amount of fat in urine          
  3.    Average amount of carbohydrate in urine            
  4.    High amount of sugar in urine
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> High amount of sugar in urine
:
D
Sugar(glucose) is usuallypresentin theurineat very low levels or not at all. Abnormally high amounts ofsugarin theurine, known as glycosuria, are usually the result of high bloodsugarlevels. High bloodsugarusually occurs in diabetes, especially when untreated.
Question 17. What is the average glomerular filtration rate?
  1.    10 L per day
  2.    180 L per day
  3.    1,500 ml per day
  4.    1 ml per minute
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 180 L per day
:
B
The filtrate formed is collected and enters the lumen of the Bowman's capsule through its walls from where it flows to the proximal convoluted tubule. This filtrate is isosmotic with theplasma, and contains amino acids, glucose, urea, uric acid, ketones, electrolytes, and massive quantities of water. Around 15 to 25 percent of water and dissolved substances in plasma are filtered out of the blood that flows through the glomerular capillaries. This constitutes around 180 litres per day. 15 of the blood pumped to our bodies every minute, reaches the kidneys and is filtered out. So technically in five minutes, we filter our entire blood volume.
Question 18. We produce concentrated / dilute urine. This is facilitated by a special mechanism. Identify the mechanism.
  1.    Reabsorption from PCT
  2.    Reabsorption from Collecting Duct
  3.    Reabsorption/ Secretion in DCT
  4.    Counter current mechanism in Henle’s loop/ Vasa recta
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Counter current mechanism in Henle’s loop/ Vasa recta
:
D
Counter current mechanismhelps to maintain a concentration gradientin the medullary interstitium. Presence of such interstitial gradient helps in an easy passage of water from the collecting tubule thereby concentrating the filtrate (urine). Human kidneys can produce urine nearly four times concentrated than the initial filtrate formed.Mammals have the ability to produce a concentrated urine. The Henle’s loop and vasa recta play a significant role in this. The flow of filtrate in the two limbs of Henle’s loop is in opposite directions and thus forms a counter current.
Question 19. Which of the following is a method by which plants excrete wastes?
  1.    Transpiration
  2.    Lost as leaves
  3.    Photosynthesis
  4.    All of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> All of the above
:
D
Plants lose water in the process of transpiration. Plants use the fact that most of their cells are dead cell and store their wastes in leaves. These wastes are lost when they lose these leaves. Oxygen produced during photosynthesis passes out through the stomata. Therefore, all 1,2 and 3 are the methods bywhich plantsexcrete waste.
Question 20. Which of the following is correct with reference to hemodialysis?
  1.    It is a process for removing waste and excess water from the blood.
  2.    It is used primarily as an artificial replacement for lost kidney function in people.
  3.    The dialysis machine is made up of a series of membranes that act as filters and a special liquid called dialysate. 
  4.    All of the above 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> All of the above 
:
D
Hemodialysis, also spelthaemodialysis, commonly called kidney dialysis or simply dialysis, is a process of purifying the blood of a person whose kidneys are not working normally.One needle will slowly remove blood and transfer it to a machine called a dialyzer (dialysismachine). Thedialysismachine is made up of a series of membranes that act as filters and a special liquid called dialysate. The membranes filter waste products from your blood, which are passed into the dialysate fluid.
