A | B | C | D | |
1. | Renin released from kidney | Angiotensin II stimulates adrenal medulla to secrete aldosterone | Reabsorption of sodium and water | Vaso- dilation |
2. | Renin released from kidney | Angiotensin II stimulates adrenal cortex to secrete aldosterone | Reabsorption of sodium and water | Vaso- constriction |
3. | ADH released from kidney | Angiotensin II stimulates adrenal cortex to secrete aldosterone | Diuresis | Vaso- constriction |
4. | Angio- tensin I released from kidney |
Angiotensin II stimulates adrenal cortex to secrete aldosterone | Reabsorption of sodium and water | Vaso- dilation |
I: | The region designated as ‘X’ in the diagram is the sacral region of the spinal cord. |
II: | Motor signals from the spinal cord lead to relaxation of the muscle in the wall of the urinary bladder and constriction of the urinary sphincter. |
1. | Only I | 2. | Only II |
3. | Both I and II | 4. | Neither I nor II |
I: | A is NaCl which is transported by the ascending limb of Henle’s loop, exchanged with the ascending limb of vasa recta and returned to the interstitium by the descending portion of vasa recta. |
II: | B is urea which enters the thin segment of the ascending limb of Henle’s loop and is transported back to the interstitium by the collecting tubule. |
III: | C is water. |

A. | Malpighian body | Site for ultra-filtration |
B. | Proximal convoluted tubule | Maximum reabsorption of filtrate |
C. | Descending limb of loop of Henle | Permeable to water; almost impermeable to electrolytes |
D. | Ascending limb of loop of Henle | Impermeable to water; allows transport of electrolytes |
E. | Distal convoluted tubule | Conditional reabsorption of sodium and water |
F. | Collecting duct | Concentration of urine; allows passage of urea |

I: | Vasa recta is absent or highly reduced in cortical nephrons. |
II: | Efferent arteriole forms a peritubular capillary network around renal tubules. |
1. | A | Urine produced by kidneys exit through this and passes into a common sac |
2. | B | During urination, urine is expelled from the bladder through this |
3. | C | Secretes antidiuretic hormone when blood osmolarity rises above a set point |
4. | D | Structure that stores urine |
1. | In adults, each testis is oval in shape, with a length of about 4 to 5 cm. |
2. | Testis is covered by loose connective tissue. |
3. | Each testis has about 250 compartments called testicular lobules. |
4. | Temperature of testis within scrotum is lower than the normal internal body temperature. |
