Questions About The Urinary System Questions
Question 1 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 2 of 5
Which hormone does the kidney produce that stimulates red blood cell production?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Erythropoietin (EPO) from kidneys boosts RBCs not thrombopoietin, vitamin D, or renin. This specifies hematopoietic role, key for anemia, contrasting with other hormones.
Question 3 of 5
The micturition reflex center is located in the _____.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Micturition reflex is in sacral plexus (S2-S4) not pons, midbrain, or lumbar. This locates control, key for voiding, contrasting with higher centers.
Question 4 of 5
ADH has which of the following effects on the distal convoluted tubule?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: ADH increases water reabsorption in DCT/collecting duct not decreasing, diluting, or increasing volume. This defines antidiuretic action, key for concentration, contrasting with diuretic effects.
Question 5 of 5
This happens if the proximal convoluted tubule is removed from nephron
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: PCT removal halts ~65% reabsorption, stopping urine formation not unaffected, concentrated, or diluted. This underscores PCT role, critical for processing, contrasting with later adjustments.
