Questions On The Urinary System Questions
Question 1 of 5
vessels, ureters and nerves enter and leave the kidney through;
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Hilus is the kidney's entry/exit point, not mediastinum (chest), chondrocyte (cartilage), or cortex (region). This specifies renal access, key for anatomy, contrasting with mislocations.
Question 2 of 5
Efferent arteriole open into;
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Efferent arteriole feeds peritubular capillaries, not portal vein, arcuate vein, or all. This defines post-glomerular flow, key for reabsorption, contrasting with venous drainage.
Question 3 of 5
Capsular cumulative hydrostatic and colloidal pressure is ;
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Capsular pressure (hydrostatic ~10-15 mmHg + colloid ~15-20 mmHg) totals ~30 mmHg, not 15, 35, or 45. This sums opposing forces, key for net filtration, contrasting with single values.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following statements concerning the kidneys is false?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Kidneys span T12-L3, not L3-L5 (false), while retroperitoneal, pyramids (8-15), and cortex/medulla are true. This corrects positioning, vital for anatomy, contrasting with true traits.
Question 5 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 (collecting), or pyramid (medulla). This defines filtration site, critical for GFR, contrasting with other terms.
