Questions About The Urinary System Questions
Question 1 of 5
The presence of blood in urine is called:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Hematuria is blood in urine not glycosuria (glucose), proteinuria (protein), or anuria (no urine). This terms a key symptom, critical for injury/infection detection, contrasting with other conditions.
Question 2 of 5
Collections of cortical tissue found between the medullary pyramids are called
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Renal columns of Bertin are cortical tissue between pyramids not medullary rays (cortex to medulla), interlobular cortex (misnomer), or none. This defines cortical extensions, critical for kidney structure, contrasting with medullary or vague terms.
Question 3 of 5
The distal convoluted tubules have
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: DCT has faint acidophilic cytoplasm, basal infoldings, and large mitochondria all true. This describes DCT histology, critical for ion transport, contrasting with partial traits.
Question 4 of 5
After the renal artery divides in the hilum, blood circulating to the kidney flows through the
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Blood flows: interlobar → arcuate → interlobular → afferent not other sequences. This orders renal circulation, critical for perfusion, contrasting with misordered paths.
Question 5 of 5
Renal lobule includes
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Renal lobule is a medullary ray plus draining nephrons not pyramid (lobe), cortex, or artery-based. This defines cortical unit, key for histology, contrasting with lobe or vascular definitions.
