Autoregulation of GFR (Glomerulus Filtration Rate) is takes place by
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
All of the above
The correct answer is D (All of the above) because the Renin-Angiotensin mechanism, Juxtaglomerular apparatus, and Vasopressin all play a role in autoregulation of GFR.

Read the following points.
i. Increases GFR
ii. Increases B.P.
iii. Decreases blood volume
iv. Increases aldosterone secretion

vi. Increases excretion
How many points are correct about Angiotensin-II?
i. Increases GFR
ii. Increases B.P.
iii. Decreases blood volume
iv. Increases aldosterone secretion
v. Vasoconstrictor
vi. Increases excretion
How many points are correct about Angiotensin-II?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Four
Option C is correct because Angiotensin-II increases blood pressure, increases aldosterone secretion, is a vasoconstrictor, and decreases GFR (not increases GFR). It also increases Na+ reabsorption (not excretion). It increases blood volume, not decreases it.

Reason: Liver helps in excretion of bile pigments and many drugs.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Assertion is false but reason is true.
Option D (Assertion is false but reason is true) is correct because the liver is not the primary excretory organ, but it does help in the excretion of bile pigments and drugs.

Assertion: Aldosterone leads to the increase in blood pressure.
Reason: Aldosterone causes reabsorption of sodium ion and water from distal part of tubules
Reason: Aldosterone causes reabsorption of sodium ion and water from distal part of tubules
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion
The correct answer is A (If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion) because aldosterone does increase blood pressure by promoting sodium and water reabsorption.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
A-glomerulus; B-filtration, C-1100-1200, D – 1/5th

View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Henle’s loop – formation of concentrated urine
Option A (proximal convoluted tubule – ionic balance) is incorrect because while the PCT does contribute to ionic balance, its primary role is reabsorption of glucose, amino acids, and water, not primarily ionic balance. The DCT plays a more significant role in ionic balance.

Statement - B: During summer when body loses lots of water by evaporation, the release of is supressed.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Only statement A is correct
