Figure shows human urinary system with structures labelled A to D. Select option which correctly identifies them and gives their characteristics and / or functions.
1. | B-pelvis - broad funnel shaped space inner to hilum, directly connected to loops of Henle. |
2. | C- Medulla- inner zone of kidney and contains complex nephrons. |
3. | D- Cortex- outer part of kidney and does not contain any part of nephrons. |
4. | A- Adrenal gland- located at the anterior part of kidney; secretes catecholamines which stimulate glycogen breakdown. |

I: | Vasa recta is absent or highly reduced in cortical nephrons. |

A. | Malpighian body | Site for ultra-filtration |
B. | Proximal convoluted tubule | Maximum reabsorption of filtrate |
C. | Descending limb of loop of Henle | Permeable to water; almost impermeable to electrolytes |
D. | Ascending limb of loop of Henle | Impermeable to water; allows transport of electrolytes |
E. | Distal convoluted tubule | Conditional reabsorption of sodium and water |
F. | Collecting duct | Concentration of urine; allows passage of urea |

I: | A is NaCl which is transported by the ascending limb of Henle’s loop, exchanged with the ascending limb of vasa recta and returned to the interstitium by the descending portion of vasa recta. |
II: | B is urea which enters the thin segment of the ascending limb of Henle’s loop and is transported back to the interstitium by the collecting tubule. |
III: | C is water. |

I: | The region designated as ‘X’ in the diagram is the sacral region of the spinal cord. |
II: | Motor signals from the spinal cord lead to relaxation of the muscle in the wall of the urinary bladder and constriction of the urinary sphincter. |

1. | Renin released from kidney | Angiotensin II stimulates adrenal medulla to secrete aldosterone | Reabsorption of sodium and water | Vaso- dilation |
2. | Renin released from kidney | Angiotensin II stimulates adrenal cortex to secrete aldosterone | Reabsorption of sodium and water | Vaso- constriction |
3. | ADH released from kidney | Angiotensin II stimulates adrenal cortex to secrete aldosterone | Diuresis | Vaso- constriction |
4. | Angio- tensin I released from kidney |
Angiotensin II stimulates adrenal cortex to secrete aldosterone | Reabsorption of sodium and water | Vaso- dilation |
