Identify the correct statement regarding urine formation
Counter current mechanism works around the glomerulus and PCT
To prevent diuresis, ADH facilitates water reabsorption
from the latter parts of the tubule
Maximum absorption of electrolytes occurs in the Henle's loop
A decrease in blood pressure can increase the glomerular filtration rate
A decrease in blood pressure can increase the glomerular filtration rate
Read the following statements and choose the correct option
(i) The glomerular filtration rate in a healthy individual is about 180 ml per day.
(ii) All the constituents of the plasma pass into the lumen of Bowman's capsule.
(iii) 70/80% of electrolytes and water are reabsorbed in the PCT.
(iv) Angiostesin II increases the glomerular blood pressure and GFR.
(v) The counter current systems contribute in concentrating the filtrate.
(i) and (ii) only are correct
(v) alone is correct
(ii), (iii) and (iv) only are correct
(iii), (iv) and (v) only are correct

a fine blood capillary network of afferent arteriole
a fine capillary which runs parallel to Henle's loop
a fine capillary which runs parallel to Henle's loop
Find the wrongly matched pair.
Balanoglossus - Proboscis gland
Earthworm - Nephridia
Grasshopper - Malpighian tubules

Choose the wrong statement regarding urine formation
Filtration is non-selective process performed by glomerulus
The glomerular capillary blood pressure causes filtration of blood through three layers
GFR in a healthy individual is approximately 125 ml/min
A fall in GFR activates the JG cells to release renin
A fall in GFR activates the JG cells to release renin
Which of the following factors is responsible for the formation of concentrated urine?
maintaining hyperosmolarity towards inner medullary interstitium in the kidneys.
Secretion of erythropoietin by Juxtaglomeular complex.
Hydrostatic pressure during glomerular filtration
low levels of antidiuretic hormone
