Creatinine is a nitrogenous waste, formed during
muscular activity. If ‘X’ amount of creatinine is
present in blood but its amount in urine is greater
than X. Which of the steps of urine formation
does it undergo?

muscular activity. If ‘X’ amount of creatinine is
present in blood but its amount in urine is greater
than X. Which of the steps of urine formation
does it undergo?
(a) Ultrafiltration
(b) Selective reabsorption
(c) Tubular secretion
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Both (a) & (c)
Option C (Both (a) & (c)) is correct because creatinine is filtered out of the blood during ultrafiltration and is also secreted into the tubules, resulting in a higher concentration in urine than in blood.

Assertion: PCT reabsorbs 70 – 80% electrolytes & water
Reason: PCT is lined with brush bordered cuboidal epithelium
Reason: PCT is lined with brush bordered cuboidal epithelium
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
A and R are correct R is correct explanation for A
Option A (A and R are correct R is correct explanation for A) is correct because the PCT reabsorbs a large amount of electrolytes and water due to its brush-bordered cuboidal epithelium, which increases surface area for reabsorption.

The outline of principal event of urination is given below in unorder manne : I. Stretch receptors on the wall of urinary bladder send signal to the CNS, II. The bladder fills with urine and becomes distended, III. Micturition, IV. CNS passes on motor messenger to initiate the contraction smooth muscles of bladder and simultaneous relaxation of urethral sphincter. The correct order of steps for urination is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
II→I→IV→III
Option A (II→I→IV→III) is correct because it represents the correct sequence of events in urination: bladder fills, stretch receptors send signals, CNS initiates contraction and relaxation, and finally, micturition occurs.
