1. | Renal hilum | the entry and exit site for structures servicing the kidneys: vessels, nerves, lymphatics, and ureters. |
2. | Columns of Bertini | Extension of renal medulla into renal cortex |
3. | Renal pelvis | The funnel-like dilated part of the ureter in the kidney |
4. | Renal capsule | A tough fibrous layer surrounding the kidney |
Statement I: | Glomerulus along with Bowman’s capsule, is called the malpighian body or renal corpuscle. |
Statement II: | The DCTs of many nephrons open into a straight tube called collecting duct. |
I: | is a fine capillary network around the renal tubule formed by efferent arteriole. |
II: | runs parallel to the Henle’s loop in juxtamedullary nephrons. |
III: | is absent or highly reduced in cortical nephrons. |
1. | 10% of the blood pumped out by each ventricle of the heart in a minute. |
2. | 20% of the blood pumped out by each ventricle of the heart in a minute. |
3. | 30% of the blood pumped out by each ventricle of the heart in a minute. |
4. | 40% of the blood pumped out by each ventricle of the heart in a minute. |
1. | Macula densa | 2. | Juxtaglomerular cells |
3. | Podocytes | 4. | Mesangial cells |
Statement I: | JGA is a special sensitive region formed by cellular modifications in the proximal convoluted tubule and the efferent arteriole at the location of their contact. |
Statement II: | A fall in GFR can activate the JG cells to release renin which can stimulate the glomerular blood flow and thereby the GFR back to normal. |
Assertion (A): | Tubular secretion helps in the maintenance of ionic and acid-base balance of body fluids. |
Reason (R): | During urine formation, the tubular cells secrete substances like H+, K+ and ammonia into the filtrate. |

2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
3. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
