Consider the following four statements (A-D) about certain desert animals such as kangaroo rats:
| A. | they have a dark colour and a high rate of reproduction and excrete solid urine. |
| B. | they do not drink water, breathe at a slow rate to conserve water, and have their body covered with thick hairs. |
| C. | they feed on dry seeds and do not require drinking water. |
| D. | they excrete very concentrated urine and do not use water to regulate body temperature. |
Which two of the above statements for such animals are true?
| 1. | C and D | 2. | B and C |
| 3. | C and A | 4. | A and B |
Which of the following factors is responsible for the formation of concentrated urine?
| 1. | Hydrostatic pressure during glomerular filtration. |
| 2. | Low levels of antidiuretic hormone. |
| 3. | Maintaining hyperosmolarity towards inner medullary interstitium in the kidneys. |
| 4. | Secretion of erythropoietin by Juxtaglomerular complex. |
Which one of the following statement with regards to the 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 HCO3 |
| 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 |
| 1. | Exposure to cold temperature stimulates ADH release |
| 2. | An increase in glomerular blood flow stimulates the formation of angiotensin II |
| 3. | During summer when the body loses a lot of water by evaporation, the release of ADH is suppressed |
| 4. | When someone drinks a lot of water, ADH release is suppressed. |
