The average osmolality of most of the body fluids in the human body under normal physiological condition is about:
1. 300 mOsmolL–1
2. 600 mOsmolL–1
3. 900 mOsmolL–1
4. 1200 mOsmolL–1

Consider the given two statements regarding the mechanism of increasing medullary interstitium osmolarity when kidney is trying to produce concentrated urine:
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. 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
4. Statement I is incorrect: Statement II is incorrect

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.

1. Only I, II and III are correct
