Urinary System Test Questions And Answers Questions 
            
        Question 1 of 5
The structure that controls urine release from the bladder is the:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Sphincters (internal involuntary, external voluntary) control release not ureter, loop, or duct (kidney). This defines continence mechanism, key for micturition, contrasting with renal structures.
Question 2 of 5
All the following statements about the distal convoluted tubules are CORRECT EXCEPT:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: DCT is ~5 mm long not 14 mm; other traits (diameter, portions, microvilli, mitochondria) are correct. This corrects DCT length, key for nephron mapping, contrasting with true histological features.
Question 3 of 5
The macula densa is characterized by all of the following EXCEPT
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Macula densa is in DCT, tall/dark cells, has a basement membrane not near urinary pole (vascular pole). This corrects position, key for JGA function, contrasting with pole error.
Question 4 of 5
Fossa navicularis is lined with
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Fossa navicularis (distal urethra) has stratified squamous epithelium not transitional (bladder), pseudostratified, or stratified columnar. This defines urethral lining, critical for histology, contrasting with proximal urethra.
Question 5 of 5
The urinary bladder
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Bladder has transitional epithelium, three muscle layers, and partial peritoneum not stratified columnar, two layers, or adventitia only. This corrects bladder anatomy, critical for histology, contrasting with listed errors.
