Figure shows human urinary system with structures labelled A to D. Select option,

which correctly identifies them and gives their characterstics and/of functions.

1. A-adrenal gland located at the anterior part of kidney. Secrete catecholamines,

which stiumate glycogen breakdown

2. B-pelvis broad funnel shaped space inner to hilum, directly connected to loops of

Henle

3. C-mediulla-inner zone of kidney and contains complete nephrons

4. D-cortex-outer part of kidney and do not contain any part of neohrons

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 filtrated 

2. Distal convoluted tubule - reabsorption of ions into the surrounding blood capillaries

3. Afferent arteriole - carries the blood away from the glomerulus towards renal vein 

4. Podocytes- create minute spaces (slit pores) for the filtration of blood into the

Bowman's capsule

Which one of the following is not a part of a renal pyramid?

1. Convoluted tubules

2. Collecting ducts

3. Loops Henle

4. Peritubular capillaries

2. amphibians and reptiles

3. insects and amphibians 

4. reptiles and birds
