The epithelial cells of Bowman’s capsule, arranged in an intricate manner so as to leave some minute spaces called filtration slits or slit pores, are called as:
1. Macula densa 2. Juxtaglomerular cells
3. Podocytes 4. Mesangial cells

A comparison of the volume of the filtrate formed per day with that of the urine released suggests that nearly:
1. 20% of the cardiac output is received by the kidneys.
2. 20% of the renal plasma flow is filtered at the glomerulus.
3. 99% of the filtrate has to be reabsorbed by the renal tubules.
4. 3% of the filtrate gets converted into urine.

Consider the two statements:
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.
1. Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect
2. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct
3. Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct

Statement II: NaCl is returned to the interstitium by the ascending portion of vasa recta.

The main function of aldosterone in Renin-Angiotensin mechanism is:
1. It converts angiotensinogen in blood to angiotensin I.
2. It is a powerful vasodilator.
3. It causes reabsorption of Na+ and water from the distal parts of the tubule.
4. It activate the JG cells to release rennin.

Identify the incorrect statement regarding micturition reflex?
1. Signal for the reflex is initiated by the stretching of the urinary bladder as it gets filled with urine.
2. The stretch receptors on the walls of the bladder send signals to the CNS.
3. The CNS passes on motor messages leading to the relaxation of smooth muscles of the bladder.
4. There is simultaneous relaxation of the urethral sphincter causing the release of urine.

Regarding role of organs other than kidneys in excretion:
I: Our lungs remove approximately 200mL/minute of CO2
II: Liver secretes bile-containing substances like bilirubin, biliverdin, cholesterol, degraded steroid hormones, vitamins and drugs.
III: Sweat produced by the sweat glands is a watery fluid containing NaCl, small amounts of urea, lactic acid, etc.
IV: Sebaceous glands eliminate certain substances like sterols, hydrocarbons and waxes through sebum.
