1. | Macula densa | 2. | Juxtaglomerular cells |
3. | Podocytes | 4. | Mesangial cells |
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. |
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. |
1. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
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). |
Statement I: | NaCl is transported by the ascending limb of Henle’s loop which is exchanged with the descending limb of vasa recta. |
Statement II: | NaCl is returned to the interstitium by the ascending portion of vasa recta. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
