I: | Allows passage of small amounts of urea into the medullary interstitium |
II: | Large amounts of water could be reabsorbed from this part to produce a concentrated urine. |
1. | Only I | 2. | Only II |
3. | Both I and II | 4. | Neither I nor II |
1. | 200 ml | 2. | 12 L |
3. | 122 L | 4. | 288 L |
1. | Glomerulus is a tuft of capillaries formed by afferent arteriole. |
2. | Blood from the glomerulus is carried away by an efferent arteriole. |
3. | Vasa recta is well developed in cortical nephrons. |
4. | The DCTs of many nephrons open into a straight tube called collecting duct. |
I: | is released when an excessive loss of fluid from the body activates osmoreceptors in the body. |
II: | prevents dieresis by facilitating water reabsorption from the initial and proximal parts of the tubules. |
1. | cross target cell membrane and influence gene activity |
2. | cause vasoconstriction |
3. | be secreted by postganglionic sympathetic neurons |
4. | increase blood glucose levels |
I: | Glomerulus is a tuft of capillaries formed by the efferent arteriole |
II: | Afferent arteriole forms the peritubular capillary network |
III: | Vasa recta is absent or highly reduced in juxtamedullary nephrons |
1. | Only III is correct |
2. | I is correct but II and III are incorrect |
3. | I, II and III are incorrect |
4. | I and II are correct |
I: | is lined by cuboidal brush bordered epithelium |
II: | reabsorbs 70-80 percent of electrolytes and water |
1. | Proximal convoluted tubule |
2. | Loop of Henle |
3. | Distal convoluted tubule |
4. | Collecting duct |
