Although the urinary bladder can hold as much as ............. ml of urine the desire for urination is usually experienced when
it contains about ......... ml.

  1. 500, 150

  2. 250, 100

  3. 150, 50

  4. 350, 100


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A completely full urinary bladder is capable of holding approximately 500-600 ml of fluid. The urge to urinate occurs when the bladder contains about 150-200 ml of urine. The urge to urinate is stimulated by expansion of of the bladder. As the bladder walls fill with urine and expand, stretch receptors are stimulated and the micturition reflex is triggered. The micturition reflex centre is located in the spinal cord. 

Urine output is reduced by

  1. Oxytocin

  2. ACTH

  3. LH

  4. Vasopressin


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The distal convoluted tubule (DCT) reacts to the amount of anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) or vasopressin in the blood. The more ADH is present in the blood, the more water is reabsorbed into it. This happens because the presence of ADH in the blood causes the cells in the DCT to become more permeable to water, therefore they allow more water to pass from the tubular fluid back into the blood. This results in more concentrated urine.

Voluntary response to distension of urinary bladder is

  1. Polyurea

  2. Micturition

  3. Diabetes mellitus

  4. Menstruation


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Micturition or urination is the process of expelling urine from the bladder. This act is also known as voiding of the bladder. The process of micturition is regulated by the nervous system and the muscles of the bladder and urethra. The urinary bladder can store around 350-400ml of urine before it expels it out.


So, the correct answer is 'Micturition'.

The shared terminal duct of the reproductive and urinary system in the human male is

  1. Urethra

  2. Ureter

  3. Vas deferens

  4. Vasa efferentia


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The shared terminal duct of the reproductive and urinary system in the human male is urethra. In human male urethra is urinogenital duct which carry both urine and sperm. 

Urine reaches the bladder from the kidneys through the urethra.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Urine reaches the urinary bladder from the kidney to the urinary bladder via the tube-like structure called the' ureter'. While urethra is the channel that conveys the urine from the bladder to the exterior. 

So, the correct answer is 'False' 

Micturition is carried out by a reflex.
  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
In vertebrates, most sensory neurons do not pass directly into the brain, but synapse in the spinal cord. This allows for faster reflex actions to occur by activating spinal motor neurons without the delay of routing signals through the brain.
The micturition reflex is ultimately generated from the level of the spinal cord after it receives reflexes from the pontine region in the brain. Once the bladder and the urethra receive the signals to empty the bladder, the two sphincters (external and internal) relax and the detrusor muscle causes the contractions of the bladder.
So, the correct option is 'True'.

Which of the following is the correct path taken by urine in our body?
(i) Kidneys

(ii) Ureters
(iii) Urethra
(iv) Urinary bladder

  1. $i, ii, iv, iii$

  2. $i, ii, iii, iv$

  3. $iv, iii, i, ii$

  4. $ii, iii, i, iv$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Urine is formed in the kidney. From the kidney through two tubes called ureters the urine descends into the urinary bladder. From the urinary bladder, urine is excreted to outside through urethra. So the correct path taken by urine in our body is kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra.

So, the correct answer id 'Option A'.

Angiotensin - II causes 

  1. Contraction of vascular musculature

  2. Release of aldosterone from cortex

  3. Dilation of blood vessels

  4. Both A and B


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Angiotensin is a peptide hormone that causes vasoconstriction and an increase in blood pressure. It is part of the renin–angiotensin system, which regulates blood pressure. Angiotensin also stimulates the release of aldosterone from the adrenal cortex to promote sodium retention by the kidneys.


So the correct option is 'Both A & B'.

In micturition,

  1. Urethral sphincter contract

  2. Uterus contract

  3. Urethral sphincter relaxes

  4. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

During micturition, parasympathetic stimulation causes the detrusor muscle to contract and the internal urethral sphincter to relax. The external urethral sphincter (sphincter urethrae) is under somatic control and is consciously relaxed during micturition. 

So, the correct option is 'Urethra relaxes'.

What will happen if the stretch receptors of the urinary bladder wall are totally removed?

  1. There will be no micturition

  2. Urine will continue to collect normally in bladder

  3. Micturition will continue

  4. Urine will not collect in the bladder


Correct Option: A

Which are relaxed during micturition?
(i) Internal urethral sphincter
(ii) External urethral sphincter
(iii) Renal pelvis
(iv) Muscles of bladder.

  1. Only (i) and (iii)

  2. Only (i), (ii) and (iii)

  3. Only (i) and (ii)

  4. (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv)


Correct Option: A

All the following statements about micturition are correct but one is wrong, which one is wrong?

  1. Micturition is under the control of parasympathetic nervous system

  2. During this process detrusor muscles of the bladder contract and internal sphincter muscles elax

  3. During micturition external sphincter muscles also relax to void out urine

  4. During micturition the sympathetic nervous system causes relaxation of detrusor muscles and constriction of internal sphincter


Correct Option: A

Which of the following factors would cause an increased volume of urine production in a man?

  1. A humid day

  2. More intake of water than usual

  3. Drinking a large quantity of strong salt water

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

On a humid day the water loss due to sweating will be less. If a man consumed large amounts of water or salt then the body will try to excrete out extra water and salt by increasing the urine output. In this condition the amount of ADH secretion is low and the water reabsorption in the DCT is low, making the urine hypotonic.

Why do we pass more urine in wet and cold season?

  1. Impairment of water absorption by nephrons.

  2. Kidney becomes more active.

  3. Sweating is much decreased.

  4. ADH secretion is increased.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

When the weather is hot, our body system tries to keep our body cool by evaporating the water along with unwanted things (sweating) through the skin in the form of perspiration. So, skin helps the kidney by sharing its work of cleaning the body in hot weather. In cold conditions, as sweating is much decreased, there is no perspiration and the kidney has to bear the entire burden of excretion and hence we urinate frequently.

The normal range of urinary output per day in human adults is

  1. 50 ml

  2. 10 ml

  3. 400-2000 ml

  4. 200 ml


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The waste products from the blood are removed by the kidneys in the form of urine. This is done by filtering of the blood. In human adults, the normal range of urinary output is between 400 to 2000 ml daily. The amount of urine produced by the body depends on the health of the person.

Urine is stored in

  1. Kidneys

  2. Ureter

  3. Urethra

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Urine is a liquid created by the body in the kidneys. It is stored in the bladder and comes out of the human body through the urethra, a tube which leads from the bladder to the urethral meatus, at the tip of the penis (men) or the vulva (women). Urinating is how the body gets rid of unwanted or unneeded substances in the blood. Urine is the liquid that these substances are put in. After the blood has circulated through the body, its composition has changed, because some substances in the blood have been absorbed by the body and because the body has released other substances into the blood. 

So, the correct answer is option D.

What will happen if the stretch receptors of the urinary bladder wall are totally removed?

  1. Urine will not collect in the bladder

  2. Micturition will continue

  3. Urine will continue to collect in the bladder

  4. There will be no micturition


Correct Option: C,D
Explanation:
  • Stretch receptors are responsible for sending the signal to the brain when the urinary bladder is filled to its maximum capacity if they are removed urine will collect normally in the bladder and may overflow after a point.
  • Stretch receptors are responsible for sending the signal to the brain when the urinary bladder is filled to its maximum capacity if they are removed two things will happen:

1- urine will continue to get collected in the bladder,
2- since there is no receptor to stop urine collection in the bladder and remove the already present urine, there will be no micturition.

So, the correct answer is 'C, D'.

The urine is

  1. Hypotonic to blood and isotonic to medullary fluid

  2. Hypertonic to blood and isotonic to medullary fluid

  3. Isotonic to blood and hypotonic to medullary fluid

  4. Isotonic to blood and hypertonic to medullary fluid


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Urine becomes hypertonic because of the loop of Henle and the collecting duct.  Salt passively diffuses out of the lower portion of the ascending limb. The upper part of ascending limb actively transports salt into the tissue of the renal medulla. Urea leaks from the lower portion of collecting duct and contributes to a high solute concentration. Water leaves descending limb of the loop of Henle, returning to the blood. Hence, urine is hypertonic to blood and isotonic to medullary plasma.

Which of the following is responsible for excretion of dilute urine?

  1. More secretion of insulin

  2. Less secretion of vasopressin

  3. More secretion of aldosterone

  4. Less secretion of glucagon


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The more ADH is present in the blood, the more water is reabsorbed into it. This happens because the presence of ADH in the blood causes the cells in the last section of the DCT to become more permeable to water, therefore they allow more water to pass from the tubular fluid back into the blood. This results in more concentrated urine.

Vasopressin is related with

  1. Dilution of urine

  2. Quick digestion

  3. Concentration of urine

  4. Slow heart beat


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The more ADH is present in the blood, the more water is reabsorbed into it. This happens because the presence of ADH in the blood causes the cells in the DCT to become more permeable to water, therefore they allow more water to pass from the tubular fluid back into the blood. This results in more concentrated urine.

Separation of amino acid into amino and carboxyl group is known as

  1. Deamination

  2. Excretion

  3. Amination

  4. Egestion


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Deamination is the process by which amino acids are broken down if there is an excess of protein intake. Deamination takes place in the liver. The amino group is removed from the amino acid and converted to ammonia. Ammonia is toxic to humans, so the enzymes convert it to urea or uric acid by addition of carbon dioxide molecules, which also takes place in the liver. Urea and uric acid is excreted in urine.

A person who is starving, that is not having food and is
surviving only on water will have

  1. More urea in his blood

  2. Less urea in his urine

  3. Less fats in his urine

  4. More glucose in his blood


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

As urea is the main excretory product of mammals and if the person is starving, he will have less urea in his urine.

Out of the following, choose the correct path of urine in our body.

  1. Kidney ---> ureter ---> urethra ---> urinary bladder

  2. Kidney ---> urinary bladder ---> urethra ---> ureter

  3. Kidney ---> ureter ---> urinary bladder ---> urethra

  4. Urinary bladder ---> kidney ---> ureter ---> urethra


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The urinary system consists of the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra. The kidneys filter the blood to remove wastes and produce urine. The ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra together form the urinary tract, which acts as a plumbing system to drain urine from the kidneys, store it, and then release it during urination, respectively. Besides filtering and eliminating wastes from the body, the urinary system also maintains the homeostasis of water, ions, pH, blood pressure, calcium and RBCs.

Choose the correct answers from the following given.
Which of the following vitamins is generally excreted in human urine?

  1. Vitamin C

  2. Vitamin A

  3. Vitamin K

  4. Vitamin D


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Vitamin C is excreted in human urine because it is water soluble vitamin. 

So the correct answer is Vitamin C.

Choose the correct answer from the alternatives given.
The hormone that controls the output of urine is:

  1. epinephrine

  2. vasopressin

  3. aldosterone

  4. oxytocin


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

(A) Epinephrine is related to the adrenal gland and is released during stress or emergency situation. 

(B) Vasopressin is stimulated when there is excessive loss of fluid from the body. This facilitates water reabsorption from the latter parts of the tubule, thereby preventing diuresis. 
(C) Aldosterone Acts mainly at the renal tubules and stimulates the reabsorption of Na+ and water and excretion of K+ and phosphate ions.
(D) Oxytocin acts on the smooth muscles of our body and stimulates their contraction.
So the correct answer is vasopressin.

In humans, water is

  1. found in the glomerular filtrate

  2. reabsorbed from the nephron

  3. in the urine

  4. all of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

  • In nephrons, potassium ion, sodium chloride, calcium ion, amino acids, glucose, bicarbonate ion, and water are reabsorbed back into the bloodstream. 
  • The glomerular filtrate contains a lot of water, but also important molecules like glucose, amino acids, salts, and excretory material, urea.
  • Urine is an aqueous solution of greater than 95% water. Other constituents include urea, chloride, sodium, potassium, creatinine and other dissolved ions, and inorganic and organic compounds. Urea is a non-toxic molecule made of toxic ammonia and carbon dioxide.

So, the correct answer is 'all of the above
'.

  • ADH hormone helps in the reabsorption of water making the urine hypertonic.
  • All the large proteins, cells remain in the blood and pass into the tubule due to the presence of bowman's capsule.
  • Glucose, and other important ions get reabsorbed from the PCT.
  • Thus, the correct answer is 'T, F, T, T'.

The excretory waste materials eliminated by kidney as aqueous solution is called as

  1. Urine

  2. Urea

  3. Uric acid

  4. Ammonia


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Mammals, many terrestrial amphibians mainly excrete urea and are called ureotelic animals. The urea is excreted in aqueous solution in more liquified form, called urine. Urine formation involves three main processes namely, glomerular filtration, reabsorption and secretion, that takes place in different parts of the nephron.

The outline of principal events of urination is given below in random manner. 
(i) Stretch receptors on the wall of urinary bladder send signals to the CNS.
(ii) The bladder fills with urine and becomes distended. 
(iii) Micturition.
(iv) CNS passes on motor messages to initiate the contraction of smooth muscles of bladder and simultaneous relaxation of urethral sphincter.

  1. (i) $\rightarrow$ (ii) $\rightarrow$ (iii) $\rightarrow$ (iv)

  2. (iv) $\rightarrow$ (iii) $\rightarrow$ (ii) $\rightarrow$ (i)

  3. (ii) $\rightarrow$ (i) $\rightarrow$ (iv) $\rightarrow$ (iii)

  4. (iii) $\rightarrow$ (ii) $\rightarrow$ (i) $\rightarrow$ (iv)


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Process of urination involves these following steps: - 

  1.  Filling of the urinary bladder with the urine and after filling, the bladder becomes distended.
  2. The filled bladder stretches the receptors present on its wall and send signals to the CNS.
  3. After receiving the signal the CNS passes the signal to initiate the contraction of smooth muscles of bladder and simultaneous relaxation of the urethral sphincter.
  4. Ultimately after the contraction of detrusor muscles of the urinary bladder and relaxation of the sphincter causes Micturition.
So, the correct answer is (ii) → (i) → (iv) → (iii).

Electron transport chain (ETC) is a set of __________ electron carries present in a specific sequence along mitochondrial membrane.
  1. seven, inner

  2. six, inner

  3. seven, outer

  4. six, outer


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In electron transport chain, there are 7 electron acceptors, which are as follows $Co-Q\rightarrow Cyt \,b\rightarrow Cyt \,{c} _{1} \rightarrow Cyt \,c\rightarrow Cyt a\rightarrow Cyt \,{a} _{3}\rightarrow{O} _{2}$. Oxygen is the ultimate electron acceptor. These electron acceptors are present in a specific sequence along inner mitochondrial membrane.

The passage of urine to the outside is called urination.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
The passage of urine to the outside is called urination.
(A) True
Urination $\rightarrow$ It is the release of urine from the urinary bladder through the urethra to the outside of the body. It is urinary systems form of excretion.

Urine leaves the kidney as

  1. Water

  2. Blood

  3. Interstitial fluid

  4. Tissue fluid


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Urine is a liquid excretory product of the body excreted by the kidneys through a process called urination (or micturition) and excreted through the urethra. Urine contains urea and water. A urea is toxic it needs water to be excreted from the body.

So, the correct answer is option A.

In mammals, the urinary bladder opens into 

  1. Uterus

  2. Urethra

  3. Vestibule

  4. Ureter


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The final passageway for urine out of the bladder is through the thin-walled urethra. This tube runs from the base of the urinary bladder to the outside of the body. In the female, it is relatively short, connecting the bladder to the external urethral sphincter. In males, it is longer. It passes through the prostate gland and travels the length of the penis before reaching the external sphincter. 

So, the correct answer is option B.

Urine is stored in

  1. Ureter

  2. Kidney

  3. Urinary bladder

  4. Uterus


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The blood is filtered by the kidney and the urine is formed. Urinary bladder is the organ that collects urine excreted by the kidneys before disposal by urination. It is a hollow muscular, and distensible (or elastic) organ. Urine enters the bladder via the ureters and exits via the urethra. 

So, the correct answer is option C.

Largest amounts of nitrogen are excreted through

  1. Sweat

  2. Faeces

  3. Breath

  4. Urine


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The urinary system is involved in the excretion of nitrogenous waste products such as urea, uric acid or ammonia. The excretion of nitrogenous waste from animals is important because if it is allowed to build up, it can prove toxic. The waste product is formed due to the breakdown of the amino acids.

So, the correct answer is option D.

The filling of the urinary bladder essentially requires

  1. Relaxation of detrusor muscle

  2. Contraction of internal sphinet

  3. Stimulation of sympathetic nerve

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The muscular part of the bladder wall is called the detrusor muscle. The internal and external sphincter muscles surround the bladder neck and the urethra. While the bladder is filling, the detrusor muscle is relaxed so the bladder wall can expand, and the sphincter muscles are contracted to keep the urethra closed. Sympathetic stimulation is predominant during bladder filling, and the parasympathetic causes emptying. Thus, option D is correct and other options are wrong.

The feeling of fullness sensation of urine is marked if the volume of urine increases upto

  1. 200 c.c

  2. 300 c.c

  3. 600 c.c

  4. 1000 c.c


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The feeling of fullness sensation of urine is marked if the volume of urine increases up to 600 c.c.

Urination is the release of urine from the urinary bladder through the urethra to the urinary meatus outside of the body. It is also known medically as micturition.
Physiologically, urination involves coordination between the central, autonomic, and somatic nervous systems.In the adult, the volume of urine in the bladder that normally initiates a reflex contraction is about 300–400 millilitres.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.

Protein rich diet brings about relatively no change in which one of the following constituents of urine?

  1. Creatinine

  2. Ammonium salt

  3. Urea

  4. Uric acid


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Urine which is a waste product of the human system is 95% water. Remaining 5% contains urea, uric acid, creatinine, sodium chloride, hormones, carbohydrates, fatty acids, enzymes, mucins and pigments. While diets play a role in the excretory systems, the protein rich diet does not bring in any changes in the uric acid levels in urine.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D.

After having lunch or dinner one can feel to pass urine, because of the

  1. Stomach pressures on bladder

  2. Solids become liquids

  3. Water content in food material

  4. Spincter relaxation


Correct Option: C

What is not a correct fact about the micturition?

  1. 1-2 litres production/day

  2. On standing urine gives pungant odour because it converts to ${ H } _{ 2 }S$ by bacteria.

  3. Normal pH of urine is 6.0

  4. Uric acid forms 0.3% of a normal urine sample


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The normal range for 24-hour urine volume is 800 to 2,000 milliliters per day (with a normal fluid intake of about 2 liters per day). Micturition or urination is the process of expelling urine from the bladder. This act is also known as voiding of the bladder. The excretory system in humans includes a pair of kidneys, two ureters, a urinary bladder, and a urethra. So the correct option is '1-2 liters production /day'.

Choose the correct answers from the following given.
Waste products of adenine and guanine metabolism are excreted by man as

  1. urea

  2. uric acid

  3. ammonia

  4. proteins


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The purines metabolism occur by the action of the enzymes released by the liver and intestine which help in the formation of xanthine which finally converts into uric acid as the end product.

Hence the correct answer is B.

Micturition is

  1. Removal of urea from blood

  2. Removal of uric acid

  3. Passing out urine

  4. Removal of faecal matter


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Urination is the release of urine from the urinary bladder through the urethra to outside of the body. It is also known medically as micturition. Micturition occurs when the bladder neck and the external urinary sphincter relax and the bladder contracts, allowing for the unobstructed expulsion of urine.
