Question 1 of 5

Which blood vessel delivers blood to the cortex?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Interlobular arteries branch from arcuate to supply cortex, not interlobar (medulla), arcuate (boundary), or efferent (glomerulus). This specifies cortical supply, vital for nephron function, contrasting with other vessels.

Question 2 of 5

Capillary hydrostatic pressure during filtration is built in the glomerulus as

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Efferent arteriole's narrowness (vs. afferent) raises glomerular pressure, not Bowman's size/shape or afferent narrowness. This explains filtration pressure, key for GFR, contrasting with structural myths.

Question 3 of 5

renal cortex is :

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Renal cortex is the outer layer, not inner (medulla), lateral, or medial (positional). This locates cortex, vital for glomeruli, contrasting with medullary depth.

Question 4 of 5

Glomerular(Bowman's)capsule double walled cup lined by

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Bowman's capsule is lined by simple squamous epithelium, not columnar, cuboidal, or stratified. This identifies capsule lining, vital for filtration, contrasting with thicker epithelia.

Question 5 of 5

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: GFR is typically 125 mL/min, not 120, 130, or all. This standardizes filtration rate, vital for renal function, contrasting with approximations.
