The process of filtering the blood by artificial kidney is known as

  1. Dialysis

  2. Excretion

  3. Secretion

  4. Assimilation


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
The process of filtering the blood by the artificial kidney is known as dialysis. It is a method of removing excess water, nitrogenous wastes (urea), toxins from the blood in the patient who is rapidly developing loss of kidney function. It is also called renal replacement therapy.
So, the correct answer is 'Dialysis'.

The urinary opening is known as

  1. Urinary bladder

  2. Ureter

  3. Urethera

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
The urinary opening is known as Urethra. It is a long tube which connects urinary bladder to the urinary meatus for removal of urine from the body. In males, urethra travels through the penis and meet the urethral meatus located at the tip of the penis. In females, urethra connects to the urethral meatus above the vagina.
So, the correct answer is 'Urethra'.

The major excretory product in humans is 

  1. Urea

  2. Ammonia

  3. Uric acid

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
The major excretory product in humans is urea. The first step in the conversion of amino acids from protein into metabolic waste in the liver is the removal of the alpha-amino nitrogen, which results in ammonia. Because ammonia is toxic, it is converted into urea by humans. The urea is excreted in urine by the kidneys.
So, the correct answer is 'Urea'.

The excretory product in fishes are 

  1. Ammonia

  2. Uric acid

  3. Urea

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
The excretory product in fishes is ammonia. Usually, food for fish is rich in proteins. And the end product of protein catabolism is ammonia. So fishes excrete ammonia. As the fishes excrete ammonia as excretory waste they are called ammonotelic.
So, the correct answer is 'Ammonia'.

  1. Ovaries

  2. Heart

  3. Kidney

  4. Lungs


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Blood containing carbon dioxide flows from veins throughout the body to the heart, and then the heart pumps it to the lungs. Small air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs remove the carbon dioxide from the blood and release it into the lungs where it is exhaled. 

So, the correct answer is option D.

Urine is stored in

  1. Kidney

  2. Urinary bladder

  3. Ureter

  4. Urethra


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Urine is made in kidney from the kidney the ureter transports urine into the urinary bladder. The urinary bladder is a muscular sac. When it is empty, it is about the size and shape of a pear. The bladder stores urine, allowing urination to be infrequent and can be controlled. Urge for urination starts as bladder comes to have urine 400-450 ml. In response, the stretch receptors on the walls of the bladder send signals to the CNS. The CNS passes on motor messages to initiate the contraction of smooth muscles of the bladder and simultaneous relaxation of the urethral sphincter causing the release of urine.

So, the correct answer is 'Urinary bladder'.

The process of expelling waste from the organism is called

  1. Digestion

  2. Ingestion

  3. Excretion

  4. Reflex action


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
  • The process of expelling waste from the organism is called excretion. Ammonia, urea and uric acid are the major forms of nitrogenous wastes excreted by the animals. Ammonia is the most toxic form and requires a large amount of water for its elimination, whereas uric acid, being the least toxic, can be removed with a minimum loss of water.
  • The human excretory system consists of a pair of kidneys, ureter, urinary bladder and urethra.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Excretion'.

Kidneys, lungs, gills and sweat glands, are parts the of ........... system in animals.

  1. Digestive

  2. Excretory

  3. Blood circulation

  4. Nervous


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

One of the major organs of the excretory system are the kidneys. It's other major organ's are the urethra, sweat glands, lungs, and rectum. Gills in fish are part of the excretory system. The kidneys are very complex organs that play very important roles such as liquid waste is produced by the kidneys and stored in the muscular bladder. As blood flows through the capillaries, substances move from the blood through the capillary walls into the tubes. The urethra is a tube which connects the urinary bladder to the outside of the body. The urethra functions to both male and female bodies. It also functions as a passage for semen. There are two different types of sweat glands, the apocrine sweat glands, and the merocrine sweat glands. Both sweat glands contain muscle cells. Humans have two lungs, the left lung being divided into two lobes and the right with three. Lungs are what make you breathe and they also absorb water vapors. The rectum is about eight inches long and serves basically as storage for poop. 

So, the correct answer is option B.

.......... is not a part of excretory system in human being.

  1. Ureter

  2. Urethra

  3. Uterus

  4. Urinary bladder


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The uterus or womb is a major female hormone-responsive reproductive sex organ of most mammals, including humans. One end, the cervix, opens into the vagina, while the other is connected to one or both fallopian tubes, depending on the species. It is within the uterus that the fetus develops during gestation, usually developing completely in placental mammals such as humans and partially in marsupials such as kangaroos and opossums. Two uteri usually form initially in a female and usually male fetus, and in placental mammals, they may partially or completely fuse into a single uterus depending on the species. In many species with two uteri, only one is functional. Ureter, urethra, and urinary bladder are parts of the excretory system.

So, the correct answer is option C.

Which of the following is not concerned with nitrogenous wastes?

  1. Skin

  2. Liver

  3. Kidney

  4. Lungs


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Nitrogenous waste products are generated during the breakdown of proteins by the cells as they catabolize amino acids to obtain energy. During the process of deamination, enzymes remove the amino group as ammonia which is highly toxic even in small quantities. In humans, this is combined with carbon dioxide to give urea and uric acid, which is thrown out by the function of the kidneys in the form of urine. 

So, the correct answer is option D.

The correct sequence of urine movement is

  1. Bladder --> Kidney --> Ureter -->Urethra

  2. Bladder -->Urethra -->Kidney -->Ureter

  3. Kidney -->Bladder -->Ureter --> Urethra

  4. Kidney -->Ureter -->Bladder -->Urethra


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Urine is formed in the kidney. The tubes which connect the kidney and urinary bladder are known as the ureter. From the kidney, urine is propelled into the urinary bladder through ureters which are made of smooth muscle fibres. The bladder stores urine, allowing urination to be infrequent and can be controlled. The urethra is a long tube which connects urinary bladder to the urinary meatus for removal of urine from the body. In males, urethra travels through the penis and meet the urethral meatus located at the tip of the penis. In females, urethra connects to the urethral meatus above the vagina. The urethra is also known as the urinary opening. So the correct sequence of urine movement is Kidney -->Ureter -->Bladder--> Urethra.
So, the correct answer is 'Kidney -->Ureter -->Bladder -->Urethra'.

Hence, the answer is 'Liver'

The urinary bladder is muscular and is under ............ control.

  1. Muscular

  2. Mechanical

  3. Nervous

  4. Hormonal


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The urinary bladder is made up of several detrusor muscles which mainly expands and contracts by the signals received by the autonomic nervous system. Parasympathetic nerves from the S2, S3 and S4 levels of spinal cord cause the upper part of the bladder to contract and bladder neck to relax, assisting in the process of micturition (urination). Sympathetic nerves from the $T _{11}$-$L _2$ levels of spinal cord do the opposite, causing the upper section of the bladder to relax and the bladder neck to contract, ensuring urine storage.

So, the correct answer is option C.

Which one is not supplied exclusively with involuntary muscles?

  1. Iris

  2. Gland ducts

  3. Urethra

  4. Coats of blood vessels
