The human kidneys are retroperitoneal and are near the dorsal wall of the:
1. pelvic cavity
2. abdominal cavity
3. peritoneum
4. thoracic
Ureters:
1. | transport urine to the urethra |
2. | transport urine from the renal pelvis to the urinary bladder |
3. | collect urine directly from collecting ducts |
4. | are lined with squamous epithelium |
Skeletal muscle make up the:
1. external urethra sphincter
2. internal urethra sphincter
3. renal capsule
4. ureter walls
In the male, urethra serves to:
1. transport urine from kidney to bladder
2. transport sperms to ejaculatory ducts
3. store urine and sperms
4. discharge semen and urine
If the cardiac output is about 6L/min, the renal blood flow/min would be about:
1. 180 L
2. 1200 ml
3. 500 ml
4. 700 ml
The reabsorption of chloride ions in the renal tubules if determined by:
1. rate of potassium reabsorption
2. rate of sodium reabsorption
3. rate of potassium secretion
4. rate of phosphate reabsorption
The net filtration pressure in human kidney is estimated to be:
1. 60 mm Hg
2. 32 mm Hg
3. 18 mm Hg
4. 10 mm Hg
The presence of which of the following in urine would be abnormal?
1. sodium | 2. glucose |
3. urea | 4. creatinine |
The major site for the reabsorption of bicarbonate ions in the nephron is the:
1. proximal convoluted tubule | 2. loop of Henle |
3. distal convoluted tubule | 4. Bowman’s capsule |
Angiotensinogen in blood is secreted by:
1. kidney | 2. liver |
3. renal artery | 4. adrenal cortex |
