Question

Figure shows human urinary system with structures labeled A to D. Select option which correctly identifies them and gives their characteristics and/or functions.

• A. A-Adrenal gland-located at the anterior part of Kidney. Secrete catecholamines which stimulate glycogen breakdown
• B. B-Pelvis -broad funnel shaped space inner to hilum, directly connected to loop of Henle.
• C. C Medulla -inner zone of kidney and contains complete nephrons.
• D. D-Cortex -outer part of kidney and do not contain any part of nephrons.

Answer 1

The correct option is A A-Adrenal gland-located at the anterior part of Kidney. Secrete catecholamines which stimulate glycogen breakdown

A - Adrenal gland - is located at the anterior part of Kidney. Secrete catecholamines which helps regulate metabolism and helps body to respond to stress.
B - Renal pelvis - it collects urine from the calyces and funnels it into the ureter.
C - Medulla - it is the innermost part of the kidney. The renal medulla is split up into a number of sections, known as the renal pyramids.
D - Cortex - it is the outermost part of the kidney and contains the renal corpuscles and the renal tubules except for parts of the loop of Henle which descend into the renal medulla.
