Urinary System Mcq Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following is true for bladder carcinoma:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Transitional cell carcinoma predominates in bilharzial bladder cancer not lateral/posterior focus, ulcerative pattern, or specific nodal spread alone. This links schistosomiasis to cancer type, critical for etiology, contrasting with gross or metastatic traits.
Question 2 of 5
In the presence of vasopressin, the greatest fraction of filtered water is absorbed in the:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: PCT reabsorbs ~65-70% of water (obligatory), even with vasopressin not loop, DCT, or collecting duct (facultative). This quantifies water reabsorption, critical for fluid balance, contrasting with ADH-focused sites.
Question 3 of 5
The structure that connects a kidney to the urinary bladder is the
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Ureter transports urine from kidney to bladder not urethra (bladder out), pelvis (inside), or duct (nephron). This identifies urine conduit, key for flow, contrasting with other structures.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following is the proper sequence of structures in the nephron?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Nephron sequence: glomerulus → PCT → loop → DCT not other orders. This orders filtrate flow, key for processing, contrasting with missequences.
Question 5 of 5
Production of less than 50 mL/day of urine is called ________.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Anuria is <50 mL/day not normal (~1-2 L), polyuria (excess), or oliguria (100-400 mL). This defines severe reduction, key for renal failure, contrasting with higher outputs.
