Q. No.
The amount of urine produced is generally increased when there is:
1. increased ADH secretion
2. increased atrial natriuretic hormone secretion
3. increased aldosterone secretion
4. sympathetic stimulation of the renal arteries

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R):
| Assertion (A): | The atrial natriuertic peptide [ANP] opposes RAAS. |
| Reason (R): | The ANP is released by the wall of the right atrium. |
In the light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below:
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is true but (R) is false. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R):
| Assertion (A): | The distal tubule plays a key role in regulating the potassium ion concentration in body fluids. |
| Reason (R): | The distal tubule reabsorbs all potassium in the filtrate by active transport. |

In a glomerulus
1. Afferent arteriole is thicker than efferent arteriole
2. Afferent capillaries are thicker than efferent capillaries
3. Afferent capillaries are thinner than efferent capillaries
4. Afferent arteriole are thinner than efferent arteriole
Which of the following is true for excretion in humans?
1. Glucose and amino acids are reabsorbed in PCT by simple diffusion.
2. DCT is impermeable to water.
3. On an average, 25-30 gm of urea is excreted out per day.
4. Maximum reabsorption occurs in the loop of Henle.

Which one of the following statements in regard to excretion by the human kidneys is correct?
1. Descending limb of loop of Henle is impermeable to water
2. Distal convoluted tubule is incapable of reabsorbing HCO-3
3. Nearly 99 per cent of the glomerular filtrate is reabsorbed by the renal tubules
4. Ascending limb of loop of Henle is impermeable to electrolytes

Which one of the following correctly explains the function of a specific part of a human nephron?
1. Henle's loop - most reabsorption of the major substances from the glomerular filtrate
2. Distal convoluted tubule - reabsorption of ions into the surrounding blood capillaries
3. Afferent arteriole - carries the blood away from the glomerulus towards the renal vein
4. Podocytes- create minute spaces (slit pores) for the filtration of blood into the Bowman's capsule
A decrease in blood pressure/volume will not cause the release of
| 1. renin | 2. atrial natriuretic factor |
| 3. aldosterone | 4. ADH |
Identify the point in the nephron by which glucose is completely reabsorbed from the filtrate under normal physiological conditions:
1. the end of the proximal tubule.
2. the tip of the loop of Henle.
3. the end of the distal tubule.
4. the end of the collecting duct.
