Choose the correct option:
P | Q | R | |
1. | B,D | C | E |
2. | A,B,C | C | E |
3. | D,E | D | C |
4. | A,D,E | E | C |
Which of the following part of the nephron is not involved in tubular secretion?
1. Bowman’s capsule
2. PCT
3. DCT
4. Collecting Duct
Urinary excretion is equivalent to:
GF = Glomerular filtration.
TR = Tubular reabsorption.
TS = Tubular secretion.
1. GF + TR + TS
2. GF – (TR + TS)
3. GF – TR + TS
4. GF – TS + TR
Which of the following statement is correct with respect to to excretion?
1. Our lungs remove large amount of CO2 (180 litres/day) and also significant quantity of water everyday
2. The ascending limb is permeable to water and also allows transport of electrolytes actively or passively
3. Conditional reabsorption of Na+ and water takes place in proximal convoluted tubule
4. Maximum water reabsorption takes place in proximal convoluted tubule, even in the presence of ADH

2. Inside the kidney the cortical region extends in between the medullary pyramids as renal pelvis.
3. glomerulus along with Bowman's capsule is called the renal corpuscle.
4. Renal corpuscle, proximal convoluted tubule (PCT), and distal convoluted tubule (DCT) of the nephron are situated in the cortical region of the kidney.
