Beginning from the collecting duct, arrange the following structures in the correct sequence in which urine passes to the external environment: (A) ureter, (B) renal pelvis, (C) calyx, (D) urinary bladder, (E) urethra.
1. A, B, C, D, E | 2. C, D, A, E, B |
3. C, B, A, D, E | 4. B, D, A, C, E |
I: | There are nearly one million nephrons in each kidney. |
II: | The Malpighian corpuscle, PCT and DCT of the nephron are located in the renal medulla. |
1. | Cortical nephrons are primarily involved in the filtration of blood. |
2. | Juxtamedullary nephrons have a longer loop of Henle that extends deep into the medulla. |
3. | Cortical nephrons are absent in mammals. |
4. | Juxtamedullary nephrons are not involved in the concentration of urine. |
Assertion (A): | Juxtamedullary nephrons play very important role in concentration of urine. |
Reason (R): | Juxtamedullary nephrons constitute about 85% of all nephrons in human kidneys. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A) |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A) |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True |
A: | Glomerulus is a tuft of capillaries formed by the afferent arteriole. |
B: | Vasa recta is absent or highly reduced in cortical nephrons. |
A: | The loop of Henle is short and extends only very little into the medulla. |
B: | Vasa recta is absent or highly reduced. |
Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): | Juxtamedullary nephrons are crucial for the process of urine concentration. |
Reason (R): | They have longer loops of Henle, which extend deep into the medulla, allowing more effective water reabsorption. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
1. | glomerulus-glomerular capsule-proximal tubules-loop of Henle-distal tubules-collecting duct-renal pelvis |
2. | glomerular capsule -glomerulus-loop of Henle-distal tubules-proximal tubules-distal tubular-collecting duct-renal pelvis |
3. | loop of Henle-distal tubules-collecting duct-proximal tubules-glomerulus-glomerular capsule-renal pelvis |
4. | loop of Henle-collecting duct -distal tubules-proximal tubules-glomerulus-glomerular capsule-renal pelvis |
In majority of the nephrons, the loop of Henle:
1. is absent
2. extends only a little into the medulla
3. extends deep into the medulla
4. is associated with a highly developed vasa recta
