Q. No.Figure shows a 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 the hilum, directly connected to loops of Henle.
2.
C- Medulla- inner zone of kidney and contains complex nephrons.
3.
D- Cortex- outer part of the kidney and does not contain any part of nephrons.
4.
A- Adrenal gland- located at the anterior part of the kidney; secretes catecholamines which stimulate glycogen breakdown.

Uricotelic mode of passing out nitrogenous wastes is found in
| 1. reptiles and bird | 2. birds and annelids |
| 3. amphibians and reptiles | 4. insects and amphibians |
As the filtrate passes upward in the ascending limb of loop of Henle:
1. it gets diluted due to the reabsorption of water from medullary interstitium
2. it gets diluted due to the passage of electrolytes to medullary interstitium
3. it gets concentrated due to the reabsorption of electrolytes from medullary interstitium
4. it gets concentrated due to the passage of water to medullary interstitium

In majority of the nephrons, the loop of Henle:
1. is absent
2. extends only a little into the medulla
3. extends deep into the medulla
4. is associated with a highly developed vasa recta

Juxtamedullary nephrons:
1. are more common than cortical nephrons
2. do not have a well developed vasa recta associated with them
3. play a very important role in concentration of urine
4. produce angiotensinogen
