Question 41. Which portion of the nephron extends into the medulla?
  1.    Henle's loop
  2.    Proximal convoluted tube
  3.    Distal convoluted tube
  4.    Papillary duct
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Henle's loop
:
A
In the kidney, the loop of Henle is the portion of a nephron that leads from the proximal convoluted tubule to the distal convoluted tubule. The main function of loop of Henle is to create a concentration gradient in the medulla of the kidney
Question 42. Which of the following statements is correct with respect to kidney function?
  1.    During summer when body loses a lot of water by evaporation, the release of ADH is suppressed
  2.    Exposure to cold temperature stimulates ADH release
  3.    An increase in glomerular blood flow stimulates formation of angiotensin II
  4.    When someone drinks a lot of water, ADH release is suppressed
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> When someone drinks a lot of water, ADH release is suppressed
:
D
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) or vasopressin increases the reabsorption of water in the distal convoluted tubule, collecting tubules and collecting ducts of the nephrons in the kidneys. As a result, the reabsorption of water from the glomerular filtrate is increased. When someone drinks alot of water, requirement of absorption of water decreases, so ADH release is suppressed.
Question 43. What will happen if the stretch receptors of the urinary bladder wall are totally removed?
  1.    Micturition will be uncontrolled.
  2.    Urine will continue to collect normally in the bladder.
  3.    There will be no micturition.
  4.    Urine will not collect in the bladder.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Micturition will be uncontrolled.
:
A
Sensory stretch receptors are responsible for stretch reflex. If these are removed then there will be no more autonomic nervous control and urge to micturition will be uncontrolled. Micturition is the expulsion of urine from the urinary bladder.
Question 44. In kidneys, urine is produced by three processes
  1.    Dialysis, ultrafiltration and tubular secretion
  2.    Ultrafiltration, dialysis and tubular secretion
  3.    Ultrafiltration, tubular reabsorption and tubular secretion
  4.    Tubular reabsorption and tubular secretion
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Ultrafiltration, tubular reabsorption and tubular secretion
:
C
Urine formation in humans takes place by three processes - ultrafiltration, tubular reabsorption and secretion. It takes place in the Malpighian corpuscle, Henle’s loop PCT and DCT.Blood is filtered so finely through the membranes of bowman's capsule, that almost all the constituents of the plasma except the proteins pass onto the lumen of the Bowman’s capsule. Therefore, it is considered as a process of ultra filtration.A comparison of the volume of the filtrate formed per day (180 litres per day) with that of the urine released (1.5 litres), suggest that nearly 99 per cent of the filtrate has to be reabsorbed by the renal tubules. This process is called reabsorption. The tubular epithelial cells in different segments of nephron perform this either by active or passive mechanisms.During urine formation, the tubular cells secrete substances like H+, K+ and ammonia into the filtrate. Tubular secretion is also an important step in urine formation as it helps in the maintenance of ionic and acid-base balance of body fluids.
Question 45. Which feature enables the mammalian kidney to concentrate urine in the medullary region ?
  1.    Maintaining a high osmotic pressure in the tissues between the tubules.
  2.    Rapid removal of sodium ions from medullary tissue.
  3.    High oxidative metabolism of medullary cells
  4.    Rapid flow of blood through the medulla
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Maintaining a high osmotic pressure in the tissues between the tubules.
:
A
The flow of filtrate in the two limbs of Henle’s loop is in opposite directions and thus forms a counter current. The flow of blood through the two limbs of vasa recta is
also in a counter current pattern. The proximity between the Henle’s loop and vasa recta, as well as the counter current in them help in maintaining an increasing osmolarity towards the inner medullary interstitium.
Question 46. Which one of the following gives the correct categorization of six animals according to the type of nitrogenous wastes (A, B, C), they excrete?Which One Of The Following Gives The Correct Categorization ...
  1.    A
  2.    B
  3.    C
  4.    D
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> C
:
C
On the basis of nitrogenous metabolic wastes, the animals are of four types
(i) An ammonotelic organism excretes nitrogenous waste as soluble ammonia. Most of the aquatic animals including protozoans, crustaceans,platyhelminths,cnidarians, poriferans,echinoderms, fishes,larvae/tadpolesof amphibians are ammonotelic.
(ii) A ureotelic organism excretes excess nitrogen as urea -for example, frog, toad and mammals.
(iii) Uricotelic excrete nitrogen in the form of uric acid – for example, insects, land reptiles and birds.
Question 47. Bilirubin is excreted along with 
  1.    Urine
  2.    Faeces
  3.    Sweat
  4.    Vitamins  
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Faeces
:
B
Bilirubinis a highly insoluble antioxidant produced by the metabolism of heme. It is derived mostly from senescent red blood cells and circulates with albumin.Bilirubinand its metabolites provide colour to the bile, faeces, and urine. These waste products reach the duodenum and pass out with faeces.
Question 48. Which is not correct with respect to human kidney?
  1.    The peripheral region is called cortex and the central is called medulla
  2.    Malphigian pyramids are present in the cortex region
  3.    Blood enters glomerulus through efferent arterioles 
  4.    The concave part of kidney is called hilus
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Blood enters glomerulus through efferent arterioles 
:
C
Blood enters in glomerulus through afferent arterioles and theefferent arteriolecarries blood away from the glomerulus. Because it has a smaller diameter than theafferent arteriole, it creates some resistance to blood flow, producing the back-up of blood in the glomerulus which creates higher pressure in the glomerular cavity.
Question 49. Filtration of the blood plasma in the human body takes place in
  1.    Malpighian tubules
  2.    Glomerulus and the Bowman’s capsule of the nephron
  3.    Nephridia
  4.    Collecting tubule of the nephron
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Glomerulus and the Bowman’s capsule of the nephron
:
B
Theglomerulusis surrounded by a cup-like sac known as Bowman's capsule. Thebloodplasma isfilteredthrough the capillaries of theglomerulusinto the capsule.
TheMalpighian tubulesystem is a type of excretory and osmoregulatory system found in some insects, myriapods, arachnids, and tardigrades.
Nephridiaremove metabolic wastes from an animal's body. They are present in many different invertebrate organisms.
Thecollecting ductis the last part of a long, twisting tube that collects urine from the nephrons
Question 50. Rearrange the following parts of a nephron in the order in which fluid flows through the nephron.

  • Distal tubule

  • Bowman's capsule

  • Loop of Henle

  • Collecting duct

  • Proximal tubule

  1.    Bowman's capsule→Proximal tubule→ Loop of Henle→Distal tubule→Collecting duct
  2.    Proximal tubule→Loop of Henle→Distal tubule→Bowman's capsule→Collecting duct
  3.    Loop of Henle→Proximal tubule→Distal tubule→Bowman's capsule→Collecting duct
  4.    Bowman's capsule→Distal tubule→Proximal tubule→Loop of Henle→Collecting duct
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Bowman's capsule→Proximal tubule→ Loop of Henle→Distal tubule→Collecting duct
:
A
The following is the order of flow of fluid:

  1. Bowman's Corpuscle - The nephron begins as a blind, cup-like pocket called Bowman's capsule. The capsule envelopes a bundle of capillaries called the glomerulus. Bowman's capsule and glomerulus make up the renalcorpuscle.

  2. Proximal convoluted tubule - is the longest and widest segment of the nephron.

  3. Loop of Henle - The cells of the descending limb of the loop are simple squamous and give this region of the tubule a narrow diameter.

  4. Distal convoluted tubule - Following the loop, the nephron continues as the distal tubule.

  5. Collecting duct -Collecting duct is a long, straight tube where the maximum reabsorption of water takes place to produce concentrated urine.
