c. Our lungs remove around of per hour
d. Around 1-1.5 of urine is excreted per day by an adult human
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
a. Around of urea is excreted per day
b. Glomerular filtration rate in a healthy individual is around day
c. Our lungs remove around of per hour
d. Around 1-1.5 of urine is excreted per day by an adult human
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
a, b and d are correct
Option C (a, b and d are correct) is correct because the stated values for urea excretion, GFR, and urine excretion are within normal ranges for a healthy adult human.

Assertion: Vasa recta runs parallel to the Henle’s loop
Reason: Vasa recta is absent or highly reduced in cortical nephrons
Reason: Vasa recta is absent or highly reduced in cortical nephrons
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
A and R are correct, but R is not correct explanation for A
Option B (A and R are correct, but R is not correct explanation for A) is correct because both statements are true, but the reason doesn't explain the assertion. Vasa recta running parallel to Henle's loop helps maintain the concentration gradient, and vasa recta is reduced in cortical nephrons, but the latter doesn't explain the former.

Given below are two statements.
Statement I: A hairpin-shaped Henle's loop which has a descending and ascending limb.
Statement II: A large vessel of the network runs parallel to the Henle's loop forming a 'U' shaped vasa recta.
In the light of the above statements choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

Statement II: A large vessel of the network runs parallel to the Henle's loop forming a 'U' shaped vasa recta.
In the light of the above statements choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Statements I is correct but statement II is incorrect
Statement I is correct, while Statement II is incorrect because the vasa recta runs parallel to the Henle's loop, but it is fenestrated and highly permeable to water and solutes, not a large vessel.

Which of the following leads to increase in blood pressure and glomerular filtration rate?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Reabsorption of and water from the distal parts of the renal tubule caused by aldosterone.
Option A (Reabsorption of and water from the distal parts of the renal tubule caused by aldosterone) is correct because aldosterone promotes sodium and water reabsorption, increasing blood volume and pressure, which in turn increases GFR.

Transport of electrolytes through loop of Henle takes place by
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Both (a) and (b)
Option C (Both (a) and (b)) is correct because electrolytes are reabsorbed in the loop of Henle both actively and passively, depending on the specific ion and the location within the loop.

When does glomerular filtration occurs in Bowman’s capsule?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
When hydrostatic pressure of blood in the glomerulus is 70 mm Hg and net filtrate pressure is 10 mm Hg
Option C (When hydrostatic pressure of blood in the glomerulus is 70 mm Hg and net filtrate pressure is 10 mm Hg) is correct because glomerular filtration occurs when the net filtration pressure is positive, favoring movement of fluid from the glomerulus into Bowman's capsule.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
I→III→II→V→IV→VI→VII
Option A (I→II→III→IV→V→VI→VII) is incorrect. Option C (I→III→II→V→IV→VI→VII) is correct because it represents the correct sequence of events in kidney regulation: water loss, osmoreceptor activation, hypothalamus stimulation, ADH release from neurohypophysis, ADH action, water reabsorption, and prevention of diuresis.
