Urinary System Test Questions and Answers Questions

Question 1 of 5

Since [H2CO3] very low, that's make it?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Carbonic acid ([H₂CO₃]) in blood is very low (~0.001 mM) and unstable, rapidly dissociating into CO₂ and H₂O, making direct measurement difficult. It's estimated via PCO₂ (0.03 × PCO₂ in Henderson-Hasselbalch). It remains effective in the bicarbonate buffer equation (C is false), and no replacement is needed (D), making B correct.

Question 2 of 5

A newly graduated nurse is reviewing with their preceptor how the urinary system maintains balance of the body's fluids. What statement would warrant further education by the preceptor?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The kidneys regulate acid-base balance by excreting H⁺ and reabsorbing HCO₃⁻ (opposite of C), making this statement incorrect and needing education. Filtration (A), reabsorption (B), and secretion (D) are accurate, highlighting C as the error.

Question 3 of 5

Concerning urinary concentration:

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The thick ascending loop creates the medullary gradient (A), urine entering the collecting duct is hypotonic post-dilution (B), and without ADH, water isn't reabsorbed, keeping urine dilute (C). All are true—gradient drives concentration, urine starts hypotonic, ADH is key—making E (all are correct), reassigned as D, correct.

Question 4 of 5

Which one of the following statements is correct with regard to net collecting duct hydrogen ion secretion.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Increased sodium reabsorption via apical channels (B) in the collecting duct (principal cells) enhances H⁺ secretion by intercalated cells, balancing charge. Ammonia buffers H⁺ (A is false), titratable acids affect it (C is false), and aldosterone boosts it (D is false), making B correct.

Question 5 of 5

What type of epithelium forms the lining of the uterine (fallopian) tube? A) stratified squamous, B) transitional, C) simple ciliated columnar, D) simple cuboidal

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The fallopian tube has simple ciliated columnar epithelium (C), aiding ovum transport. Stratified squamous (A) is in skin, transitional (B) in bladder, and cuboidal (D) in tubules, making C the match.
