Question

Figures shows human urinary system with structures labelled 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 kideny. Secrete Catecholamines Which stimulate glycogen breakdown
• B. B - Pelvis - broad funnel shaped space inner to hilum, directly connected to loops 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 kideny. Secrete Catecholamines Which stimulate glycogen breakdown

A- Adrenal gland. Adrenal gland is a gland present on the upper pole of the kidney towards the anterior surface. It has two parts cortex and medulla. Medulla releases catecholamines namely adrenaline and nor adrenaline. These help in increasing the blood sugar levels. One such mechanism is glycogen breakdown.

B-Pelvis. Pelvis is broad funnel shaped space inner to the hilum. It is directly connected to convoluted tubules but not to loops of henle.

C.-Medulla. Medulla is the inner part of the kidney. It contains only loop of Henley of the nephrons but not the complete nephron.

D-Cortex. Cortex is the outer part of the kidney. It contains glomeruls, PCT and DCT of the nephron.

So the correct option is a.
