In mammals, which blood vessel would normally carry largest amount of urea?
Dorsal aorta
Hepatic vein
Hepatic portal vein
Hepatic portal vein
The figure shows a human urinary system with structure labelled A to D. Select option, which correctly identifies them and gives their characteristics and of function.
A - adrenal gland - located at the anterior part of kidney. Secrete catecholamines, which stimulate glycogen breakdown
B- pelvis -board funnel-shaped space inner to hilum, directly connected to loops of Henle
C - mediulla-inner zone of kidney and contains complete nephrons.
C - mediulla-inner zone of kidney and contains complete nephrons.
Human urine is usually acidic because
The sodium transporter exchanges one hydrogen ion for each sodium ion, in peritubular capillaries.
Excreted plasma proteins are acidic
potassium and sodium exchange generates acidity
potassium and sodium exchange generates acidity
The maximum amount of electrolytes and water (70-80 percent from the glomerular filtrate is reabsorbed in which part of the nephron?
Ascending limb of loop of Henle
Distal convoluted tubule
Proximal convoluted tubule
Proximal convoluted tubule
Choose the correctly matched pair.
Inner Lining of salivary ducts - Ciliated epithelium
Moist surface of buccal cavity - Flandular epithelium
Tubular parts of nephrons - Cuboidal epithelium
Tubular parts of nephrons - Cuboidal epithelium
C.
Tubular parts of nephrons - Cuboidal epithelium
Cuboidal epithelium is present in th tubular parts of nephron (PCT and DCT). It consists of short, cube -shaped cells with round nuclei located in the centre of the cell. These cells forms microvilli to increase the absorptive surface area of the cell.
Other correctly matched points are
Inner lining of salvasry ducts is lined by compound epithelium. Moist surface of bucaal cavity is lined by compound epithelium. Inner surface of bronchioles is lined by ciliated epithelium.
Which of the following causes an increase in sodium reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule?
Increase in aldosterone levels
Increase in antidiuretic hormone levels
Decrease in aldosterone levels
Decrease in aldosterone levels

Removal of proximal convoluted tubule from the nephron will result in
more diluted urine
no change in quality and quantity of urine
