Match the following:

a. Renal artery 1. It carries impure blood into the kidneys.
b. Renal vein 2. They are the tubes that carry urine from kidneys to bladder.
c. Ureters 3. It carries pure blood out of the kidneys.
  1. a - 1, b - 3, c - 2

  2. a - 1, b - 2, c - 3

  3. a - 2, b - 1, c - 3

  4. a - 3, b - 1, c - 2

  5. a - 2, b - 3, c - 1


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is the correct option. Renal arteries carry blood containing waste into the kidneys. Renal veins drain pure blood out of the kidneys after filtration. Ureters are the tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder.

Using which of the following methods do plants get rid of their waste products?

a. Through stomata b. Through lenticles c. Shedding of leaves d. Felling of fruits e. Gums and resins

  1. a, b and c

  2. a, b, c and d

  3. a, b, c, d and e

  4. c and e

  5. a, b, c and e


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This is the correct answer. Plants get rid of gaseous waste products through stomata in leaves and lenticles in stem. They get rid of stored solid and liquid wastes through shedding of leaves, barks and felling of fruits. They also secrete wastes through gums and resins.

The expanded part of the ureter proximal to kidney is called

  1. urethra

  2. urinary bladder

  3. pelvis

  4. pyramid

  5. medulla


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The renal pelvis or pyelum is the funnel-like dilated proximal part of the ureter in the kidney.

How is oxygen removed from the leaves?

  1. Through dead cells

  2. Through roots

  3. Through stomata

  4. Through cellular vacuoles


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Plants get rid of oxygen through their stomatal pores. Air enters the plant through these openings, and contains carbon dioxide and oxygen, which are used in photosynthesis and respiration, respectively.

Ornithine cycle occurs in

  1. liver

  2. urinary bladder

  3. kidneys

  4. lungs


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Urea is the major end product of nitrogen metabolism in humans and mammals. Ammonia, the product of oxidative deamination reactions, is toxic in even small amounts, and must be removed from the body. The urea cycle or the ornithine cycle describes the conversion reactions of ammonia into urea. Since these reactions occur in the liver, the urea is then transported to the kidneys, where it is excreted.

Which of the following excretory substances is not present in sebum?

  1. Wax

  2. Keratin

  3. Fatty acid

  4. Sterol


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Keratin is an extremely strong protein, which is a major component in skin, hair, nails, hooves, horns and teeth. The amino acids which combine to form keratin have several unique properties, and depending on the levels of the various amino acids, keratin can be inflexible and hard, like hooves, or soft, as is the case with skin.

The urge to urinate is controlled with the help of

  1. long collecting duct

  2. glomerulus

  3. muscular urinary bladder

  4. urethra


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The urinary bladder is muscular, so it is under nervous control. As a result, we can usually control the urge to urinate.

The chloride ions from the glomerular filtrate are reabsorbed through

  1. passive reabsorption

  2. active transport

  3. osmoregulation

  4. diffusion


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Diffusion is the tendency of molecules  to spread into an available space. This tendency is a result of the intrinsic thermal energy (heat) found in all molecules, at temperatures above absolute zero. Without other outside forces at work, substances will move/diffuse from a more concentrated environment to a less concentrated environment. The chloride ions from the glomerular filtrate are reabsorbed through diffusion.

Which of the following statements is incorrect?

  1. Dialysis is a process of removal of nitrogenous waste from the body.

  2. Dialysing fluid has the same osmotic blood pressure as blood.

  3. Waste products from the blood pass into dialysing fluid by diffusing.

  4. Reabsorption of glucose and salt takes place from the dialysing fluid.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Artificial kidneys contain a number of tubes with a semi-permeable lining, suspended in a tank filled with dialysing fluid. This fluid has the same osmotic pressure as blood, except that it is devoid of nitrogenous wastes.

Water is not reabsorbed in

  1. proximal convoluted tubule

  2. descending limb of loop of Henle

  3. ascending limb of loop of Henle

  4. distal convoluted tubule


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Water is not reabsorbed in ascending limb of loop of Henle. It is impermeable to water.

Which of the following carries blood from the heart to the kidneys?

  1. Hepatic vein

  2. Hepatic artery

  3. Renal artery

  4. Renal vein


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

One quarter of the total blood output from the heart comes to the kidneys along the renal artery. Two renal arteries arise from the abdominal section of the aorta, each artery supplies a lobe of the kidney. The incoming artery divides into four or five branches, eventually forming arterioles, each of which leads to the compact ball of capillaries, called the glomerulus.

What do we call the conical segments found within the internal medulla of the kidney?

  1. Renal pyramids

  2. Renal sinuses

  3. Calyces

  4. Renal columns


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The renal pyramids are conical segments within the internal medulla of the kidney. The pyramids contain the secreting apparatus and tubules, and are also known as the malphighian pyramids.

Match the following:

Organs Uses
a. Lung 1. It is used for removal of excess sugar by converting it into glycogen for further use.
b. Skin 2. It is used for excretion of carbon dioxide and water vapour produced during respiration.
c. Liver 3. It is used for excretion of urea, salt and excess water by means of sweat glands.
  1. a - 2, b - 1, c - 3

  2. a - 1, b - 2, c - 3

  3. a - 3, b - 2, c - 1

  4. a - 2, b - 3, c - 1

  5. a - 1, b - 3, c - 2


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

This is the correct option. Lung is used for excretion of carbon dioxide and water vapour produced during respiration. Skin is used for excretion of urea, salt and excess water by means of sweat glands. Liver is used for removal of excess sugar by converting it into glycogen for further use.

Tanin and resins are stored by

  1. Parenchyma

  2. Collenchyma

  3. Sclerenchyma

  4. Sclereids


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Cells are isodiametric, i.e. equally expanded on all sides. They may be oval, round, polygonal or elongated. Nucleus is present and hence, living. The cell walls are thin and made of cellulose. Cytoplasm is dense with a single large vacuole. Intercellular spaces may be present. Parenchyma which contain chlorophyll is called chlorenchyma.  It gives mechanical strength by maintaining turgidity and stores waste products like tanin, gum, crystals and resins.

Which of the following statements regarding the physiology of loop of Henle is INCORRECT?

  1. The descending loop of Henle receives hypotonic fluid from the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT).

  2. Substances reabsorbed in the PCT include urea, water, potassium, etc.

  3. The interstitium of the kidney increases in osmolarity outside.

  4. In the ascending portion, the loop becomes impermeable to water.

  5. Flow of the fluid through the entire loop of Henle is considered slow.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The descending loop of Henle receives isotonic fluid from the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT). The fluid is isotonic because as ions are reabsorbed by the gradient time system, water is also reabsorbed, maintaining the osmolarity of the fluid in the PCT.
