Urinary System Exam Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Afferent arterioles
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Afferent arterioles arise from interlobular (from arcuate), supply glomerulus, and have JG cells all true. This fully describes their role, key for filtration, contrasting with partial traits.
Question 2 of 5
The caudal end of the pronephric duct opens in:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The pronephric duct's caudal end opens into the cloaca not primitive/definitive urogenital sinus (later), vesicourethral canal (bladder), or coelom. The cloaca is the early common chamber, critical for pronephric regression and mesonephric transition, contrasting with later subdivisions.
Question 3 of 5
The premature division of the ureteric bud most commonly results in:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Premature ureteric bud division causes duplex ureter (one kidney, two ureters) not hypertrophy, agenesis, cysts, or shared ureter. This reflects branching error, key for anomalies, contrasting with unrelated defects.
Question 4 of 5
Drainage of urine from the umbilicus of the neonate is due to:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Urine from umbilicus is urachal fistula (patent allantois) not vitelline (gut), ectopia vesicae (exstrophy), or ectopic ureter/urethra. This identifies congenital leak, key for diagnosis, contrasting with other fistulae.
Question 5 of 5
When blood supply to the kidneys drops, the kidneys will release
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Low blood supply triggers renin release JGA senses pressure drop (e.g., activates RAAS). Aldosterone is adrenal not kidney-produced. ANH from heart opposes retention. Water isn't released reabsorbed. Renin's response distinguishes it, key to restoring perfusion, unlike hormones or fluid missteps.
