Questions On The Urinary System Questions

Question 1 of 5

The caudal somites migrate to give the following except:

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Caudal somites form genital tubercle, swellings, external sphincter, and abdominal wall not internal anal sphincter (splanchnic mesoderm). This excludes visceral muscle, key for somitic roles, contrasting with included derivatives.

Question 2 of 5

When the oxygen content of the blood decreases, the kidneys will release

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Low blood oxygen triggers erythropoietin release stimulates RBC production (e.g., peritubular cells). Renin responds to pressure not oxygen. Angiotensin is RAAS product not kidney-released. Calcitriol is vitamin D not oxygen-linked. Erythropoietin's hypoxia response distinguishes it, key to oxygenation, unlike pressure or mineral roles.

Question 3 of 5

As the male urethra leaves the urinary bladder, it is surrounded by the:

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The prostate gland surrounds the male urethra at bladder exit prostatic urethra (e.g., ~20 cm total). Adrenals are kidney-top not urethra. Bulbourethral glands are distal penile urethra. Hilum is kidney not bladder. Prostate's position distinguishes it, key to male anatomy, unlike other glands or sites.

Question 4 of 5

Where does tubular reabsorption primarily occur?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Tubular reabsorption primarily occurs in the PCT ~65-70% of filtrate (e.g., Na , water, glucose). Collecting duct adjusts less volume. Distal tubule fine-tunes smaller role. Capsule filters not reabsorbs. PCT's dominance distinguishes it, critical for bulk reclamation, unlike later or filtration sites.

Question 5 of 5

To increase the reabsorption of water, which parts of the kidney tubules are involved?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: PCT (~65% water) and collecting duct (ADH-driven) increase water reabsorption e.g., bulk and regulated recovery. Distal tubule adjusts less water focus. Loop sets gradient not ADH-dependent. PCT/collecting synergy distinguishes it, key to water conservation, unlike partial or gradient-focused pairs.
