The Urinary system consists of____?
- A.
Kidney, two ureters, bladder
- B.
Two kidneys, two uriteres, bladder and urethra
- C.
Two kidneys, uriter, bladder, and two urethras
- D.
Two kidneys, two uriters, bladder
Correct Answer
B. Two kidneys, two uriteres, bladder and urethraExplanation
The urinary system consists of two kidneys, which filter waste products from the blood and produce urine. The urine then travels through two ureters, which are tubes that connect the kidneys to the bladder. The bladder stores urine until it is ready to be eliminated from the body through the urethra. Therefore, the correct answer is two kidneys, two ureters, bladder, and urethra.Rate this question:

The Nephrons preform three physiological activities as it produces urine.
- A.
Filtration
- B.
Reabsorpton
- C.
Secretion
- D.
Elimination
- E.
Storage
Correct Answer(s)
A. Filtration
B. Reabsorpton
C. SecretionExplanation
The nephrons in the kidneys perform three physiological activities in the production of urine: filtration, reabsorption, and secretion. Filtration involves the removal of waste products, toxins, and excess substances from the blood. Reabsorption is the process of reclaiming useful substances such as water, glucose, and ions from the filtrate back into the bloodstream. Secretion involves the addition of substances, such as hydrogen ions and certain drugs, into the filtrate. These three processes work together to produce urine, which is eventually eliminated from the body. Storage of urine is not a physiological activity of the nephrons.Rate this question:

This occurs in the renal corpuscle, where water, electrolytes, sugar, amino acids, and other small molecules are forced from the blood in the glomerulus into Bowman capsule as a result of increased pressure.
- A.
Reabsorption
- B.
Filtration
- C.
Secretion
Correct Answer
B. FiltrationExplanation
Filtration is the correct answer because it accurately describes the process that occurs in the renal corpuscle. In this process, blood is forced from the glomerulus into the Bowman capsule due to increased pressure. This allows water, electrolytes, sugar, amino acids, and other small molecules to be filtered out of the blood and into the Bowman capsule.Rate this question:

The fluid that is filtrated through the nephrons is called?
- A.
Urine
- B.
Filtrate
- C.
Plasma
Correct Answer
B. FiltrateExplanation
The fluid that is filtrated through the nephrons is called filtrate. This term refers to the fluid that passes through the glomerular filtration barrier in the kidneys, containing water, ions, glucose, amino acids, and waste products. It is the initial product of filtration before further processing occurs in the renal tubules to form urine.Rate this question:

________ begins as filtrate passes through the four sections of the tubule. The Tubule reclaims needed substances from the filtrate and returns them to the body for reuses. Water, electrolytes and amino acids are returned to the peritubular capillaries, thus re-entering the circulating blood.
- A.
Reabsorption
- B.
Filtration
- C.
Secretion
Correct Answer
A. ReabsorptionExplanation
The process described in the passage is reabsorption. Reabsorption occurs in the tubule where needed substances such as water, electrolytes, and amino acids are reclaimed from the filtrate and returned to the body for reuse. This process helps maintain the balance of these substances in the body and prevents their loss through urine.Rate this question:

The testies are located?
- A.
Under the bladder
- B.
Just behind the rectum
- C.
In the scrotum (external sac)
Correct Answer
C. In the scrotum (external sac)Explanation
The testes are located in the scrotum (external sac). The scrotum is a pouch of skin that hangs outside the body, below the penis. It is responsible for housing and protecting the testes, which are the male reproductive organs. The scrotum helps to regulate the temperature of the testes, keeping them slightly cooler than the rest of the body, which is essential for sperm production.Rate this question:

What structure stores sperm after it leaves the seminiferous tubules?
- A.
Testies
- B.
Scrotum
- C.
Epididymis
- D.
Vas deferens
Correct Answer
C. EpididymisExplanation
The epididymis is a structure that stores sperm after it leaves the seminiferous tubules. It is a tightly coiled tube located on the back of the testicles. Sperm are transported from the seminiferous tubules to the epididymis, where they mature and become capable of fertilization. The epididymis also helps in the storage and transportation of sperm to the vas deferens during ejaculation. Therefore, the epididymis is the correct answer.Rate this question:

The vas deferens is a narrow tube that passes through the inguinal canal into the abdominal cavity. It then extends over the top and down the posterior surface of the ______?
- A.
Rectum
- B.
Large intestine
- C.
Bladder
- D.
Kidney
Correct Answer
C. BladderExplanation
The vas deferens is a narrow tube that carries sperm from the testes to the urethra. It passes through the inguinal canal, which is located in the lower abdomen. From there, it extends over the top and down the posterior surface of the bladder. This pathway allows the sperm to eventually reach the urethra and be ejaculated during sexual intercourse. The other options, such as the rectum, large intestine, and kidney, are not directly involved in the pathway of the vas deferens.Rate this question:

The union of the vas deferens with the duct from the seminal vesical forms the _____?
- A.
Ejaculatory duct
- B.
Ejaclatory vesicle
- C.
Prostate gland
- D.
Cowper gland
Correct Answer
A. Ejaculatory ductExplanation
The union of the vas deferens with the duct from the seminal vesicle forms the ejaculatory duct. This duct plays a crucial role in the male reproductive system by transporting sperm from the vas deferens and seminal vesicle to the urethra during ejaculation. It is responsible for the release of semen into the urethra, allowing it to be expelled from the body during sexual intercourse.Rate this question:
