The increase in osmolarity from outer to inner medullary interstitium is maintained due to:
(i) | Close proximity between Henle's loop and vasa recta |
(ii) | Counter current mechanism |
(iii) | Selective secretion of HCO3¯ and hydrogen ions in PCT |
(iv) | Higher blood pressure in glomerular capillaries |
1. | Only (ii) | 2. | (iii) and (iv) |
3. | (i), (ii) and (iii) | 4. | (i) and (ii) |
Select the correct statement:
1. | Atrial Natriuretic Factor increases the blood pressure. |
2. | Angiotensin II is a powerful vasodilator. |
3. | Counter current pattern of blood flow is not observed in vasa recta. |
4. | Reduction in Glomerular Filtration Rate activates JG cells to release renin. |
Which of the following would help in prevention of diuresis?
1. | Reabsorption of Na+ and water from renal tubules due to aldosterone |
2. | Atrial natriuretic factor causes vasoconstriction |
3. | Decrease in the secretion of renin by JG cells |
4. | More water reabsorption due to under secretion of ADH |

Terrestrial adaptations necessitated the production of :

(a) | Angiotensin II activates the cortex of adrenal gland to release aldosterone. |
(b) | Aldosterone leads to increase in blood pressure. |
(c) | ANF acts as a check on renin-angiotensin mechanism. |
(d) | ADH causes vasodilation. |
(e) | Vasopressin is released from adenohypophysis. |
Assertion (A): | Nephrons are of two types: Cortical & Juxta medullary, based on their relative position in cortex and medulla. |
Reason (R): | Juxta medullary nephrons have short-loop of Henle whereas, cortical nephrons have longer loop of Henle. |
