Questions About The Urinary System Questions
Question 1 of 5
Urethritis is caused by all EXCEPT:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Urethritis involves gonococci, Mycoplasma, and Ureaplasma not S. aureus (skin/UTI). This distinguishes urethritis pathogens, key for STD treatment, contrasting with non-urethral bacteria.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following statements concerning the kidneys is false?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Kidneys are retroperitoneal, have 8-15 pyramids, distinct cortex/medulla, but span T12-L3 not L3-L5. This corrects positioning, vital for anatomy, contrasting with true traits.
Question 3 of 5
The tuft of capillaries in the renal corpuscle is called the
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Glomerulus is the capillary tuft in the corpuscle not podocytes (cells), calyx, pyramid, or sinus. This defines filtration site, critical for GFR, contrasting with other terms.
Question 4 of 5
Which part of the urinary system is not completely retroperitoneal?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Bladder is partially peritoneal (superior covered) not kidneys, ureters (retroperitoneal), or nephrons (within kidney). This corrects position, vital for anatomy, contrasting with full retroperitoneal parts.
Question 5 of 5
Most absorption and secretion occurs in this part of the nephron.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: PCT handles ~65-70% reabsorption and secretion not loop, DCT, or collecting (fine-tuning). This specifies primary site, key for filtrate processing, contrasting with later segments.
