Human urine is usually acidic because

1. the sodium transporter exchanges one hydrogen ion for each sodium ion, in peritubular

capillaries

2. excreted plasma proteins are' acidic

3. potassium and sodium exchange generates acidity

4. hydrogen ions are actively secreted into the filtrate

2. Caffeine

3. Renin 

4. Atrial-natriuretic factor

Which of the following causes an increase in sodium reabsorption in distal convoluted

tubule?

1. Increase in aldosterone levels

2. Increase in antidiuretic hormone levels

3. Decrease in aldosterone levels

4. Decrease in antidiuretic hormone levels

Figure shows human urinary system with structures labelled A to D. Select option,

which correctly identifies them and gives their characterstics and/of functions.

1. A-adrenal gland located at the anterior part of kidney. Secrete catecholamines,

which stiumate glycogen breakdown

2. B-pelvis broad funnel shaped space inner to hilum, directly connected to loops of

Henle

3. C-mediulla-inner zone of kidney and contains complete nephrons

4. D-cortex-outer part of kidney and do not contain any part of neohrons

3. insects and amphibians 

4. reptiles and birds 

Which one of the following statements is correct with respect to kidney function

regulation?

1. Exposure to cold temperatures stimulates ADH release

2. An increase in glomerular blood flow stimulates the formation of angiotensin II

3. During summer when the body loses a lot of water by evaporation, the release of ADH is

suppressed

4. When someone drinks a lot of water ADH release is suppressed
