Urinary System Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
In kidney segmental artery divides into ;
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Segmental artery splits into ~5 lobar arteries, not 6, 8, or 7. This quantifies renal supply, critical for blood flow, contrasting with variable counts.
Question 2 of 5
The functional unit of the kidney is called
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Nephron (filtration to excretion) is the functional unit, not glomerulus (part), corpuscle (subset), or calyx (collecting). This defines renal unit, key for physiology, contrasting with components.
Question 3 of 5
The apex of the renal pyramid is called the:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Renal papilla is the pyramid apex draining into calyces, not calyx or pelvis. This specifies medullary tip, key for urine collection, contrasting with collecting structures.
Question 4 of 5
Which antibiotic course is inappropriate for clinical scenario?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Male cystitis treatment with Augmentin/trimethoprim for 14 days is excessive 7 days suffices (e.g., complicated UTI risk higher, but not this long), inappropriate. Trimethoprim 3 days for female cystitis standard, short-course. Pyelonephritis with IV gentamicin/amoxicillin then 7-day Augmentin reasonable step-down. Nitrofurantoin in pregnancy (dose likely typo, 50-100 mg typical) for 7-14 days acceptable. Male duration overreach distinguishes it, key to guideline-based therapy, unlike appropriate regimens.
Question 5 of 5
Which is incorrect of renal transplant patients?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Cyclosporine toxicity is common, not rare narrow therapeutic window, unpredictable levels (e.g., nephrotoxicity), incorrect. Identical twins need no immunosuppression genetic match, true. Rejection symptoms (tenderness, oliguria, creatinine rise) classic, accurate. Infection's early dominance (80% in year 1) correct. Toxicity's frequency distinguishes the error, critical for transplant management, unlike true donor, rejection, or infection statements.
