Multiple Choice Questions On Urinary System Questions
Question 1 of 5
Structures typically seen at the border between the renal cortex and medulla are
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Arcuate arteries/veins lie at the cortex-medulla border not interlobar (medulla), interlobular (cortex), or intralobular (misnomer). This locates junction structures, key for circulation, contrasting with other levels.
Question 2 of 5
Renal filtration barrier is composed of all of the following structures EXCEPT
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Filtration barrier includes fenestrated endothelium, basal lamina, and filtration slits none excluded. This confirms barrier components, critical for selectivity, contrasting with exclusion errors.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following is TRUE of the kidney?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Proteinuria indicates filtration membrane damage not false claims: ~99% of glomerular filtrate is reabsorbed (not 50%), most nephrons are cortical (not medullary), and efferent arterioles are narrower (not wider) than afferent for pressure. This identifies a key diagnostic sign, critical for renal health assessment, contrasting with physiological errors.
Question 4 of 5
The mesonephric tubules in female gives:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In females, mesonephric tubules form epoophoron, paroophoron, and their ducts all vestigial remnants. 'All' includes these Gartner's duct precursors, critical for understanding female rudiments, contrasting with partial selections.
Question 5 of 5
The vesico-urethral canal gives rise to:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Vesicourethral canal forms most of the bladder not whole (trigone from mesonephric ducts), prostatic urethra (partly sinus), female urethra (sinus), or all; 'most' fits. This specifies bladder origin, critical for development, contrasting with full scope.
