Urinary System Multiple Choice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
This is the functional unit of the kidney
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Nephrons filter/form urine, not hilum (entry), neurons (nerve), or medulla (region). This defines functional unit, key for renal physiology, contrasting with structural terms.
Question 2 of 5
juxta medullary nephron has long loop situated in
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Juxtamedullary nephrons' long loops extend into medulla, not cortex, pyramid (part), or all. This locates concentration site, critical for osmolarity, contrasting with cortical nephrons.
Question 3 of 5
Peritubular capillaries arise from efferent arterioles, Absorb solutes and water from:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Peritubular capillaries absorb from tubule cells (all segments), not just collecting duct, PCT, or DCT. This generalizes reabsorption, critical for solute return, contrasting with specific segments.
Question 4 of 5
All of the following belong to the urinary system except:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Prostate (reproductive) isn't urinary, unlike urethra, ureter, bladder. This excludes accessory organs, key for system scope, contrasting with urinary structures.
Question 5 of 5
