Which is not correct with respect to human kidney?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Blood enters glomerulus through efferent arterioles
Option C is the correct answer because blood enters the glomerulus through afferent arterioles, not efferent arterioles.

The amount of plasma filtered per hour by both the kidneys is approximately
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
7.5 lit.
Option B (7.5 lit.) is correct because the kidneys filter approximately 125 mL of plasma per minute, which translates to about 7.5 liters per hour for both kidneys.

In which of the following regions of a nephron, does maximum reabsorption of useful substances takes place?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Proximal convoluted tubule
Option C is correct because the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) is where the maximum reabsorption of useful substances occurs.

The conversion of dangerous nitrogenous waste into less toxic excretory matter is carried out in man in the
View answer and explanation

Podocytes are the cells present in
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Inner wall of Bowman’s capsule
Option B (Inner wall of Bowman’s capsule) is correct because podocytes are specialized cells that form the visceral layer (inner wall) of Bowman's capsule and interdigitate to form filtration slits.

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.

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.

Loop of Henle is meant for the absorption of
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Water
Option C (Water) is correct because the primary function of the Loop of Henle is to create a concentration gradient in the medulla of the kidney, which facilitates water reabsorption.
