High-Yield Trend
Questions 5 MCQs
| 1. | Henle’s loop – most reabsorption of the major substances from the glomerular filtrate |
| 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 of the following statements is correct?
| 1. | The descending limb of loop of Henle is impermeable to water. |
| 2. | The ascending limb of loop of Henle is permeable to water. |
| 3. | The descending limb of loop of Henle is permeable to electrolytes. |
| 4. | The ascending limb of loop of Henle is impermeable to water. |
Match the items given in Column-I with those Column-II and select the correct option given below:
| Column-I (Function) | Column-II (Part of the Excretory system) | ||
| (a) | Ultrafiltration | (i) | Henle's loop |
| (b) | Concentration of urine | (ii) | Ureter |
| (c) | Transport of urine | (iii) | Urinary bladder |
| (d) | Storage of urine | (iv) | Malpighian corpuscle |
| (v) | Proximal convoluted tubule |
| Options: | (a) | (b) | (c) | (d) |
| 1. | (iv) | (v) | (ii) | (iii) |
| 2. | (iv) | (i) | (ii) | (iii) |
| 3. | (v) | (iv) | (i) | (ii) |
| 4. | (v) | (iv) | (i) | (iii) |
| Statement I: | In the nephron, the descending limb of loop of Henle is impermeable to water and permeable to electrolytes. |
| Statement II: | The proximal convoluted tubule is lined by simple columnar brush border epithelium and increases the surface area for reabsorption. |
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1. Both Statement I and Statement II are False
2. Statement I is True but Statement II is False
3. Statement I is False but Statement II is True
4. Both Statement I and Statement II are True
| 1. | Renal corpuscle of juxta medullary nephron lies in the outer portion of the renal medulla. |
| 2. | Loop of Henle of juxta medullary nephron runs deep into medulla. |
| 3. | Juxta medullary nephrons outnumber the cortical nephrons. |
| 4. | Juxta medullary nephrons are located in the columns of Bertini. |
