Zoology-Urine Formation

NEET Zoology Urine Formation MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

Which of the following statements about urine formation is correct?

A

The juxta glomerular apparatus (JGA) regulates glomerular filtration rate by releasing renin when GFR decreases.

B

The distal convoluted tubule (DCT) is the primary site for glomerular filtration.

C

Henle's loop is primarily involved in the formation of urine by directly filtering blood.

D

The collecting duct has no role in water reabsorption or maintaining osmolarity.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The JGA plays a crucial role in regulating GFR by releasing renin, which aids in restoring glomerular blood flow. The DCT is not the primary site for glomerular filtration, and Henle's loop does not filter blood directly. The collecting duct is indeed involved in water reabsorption and osmolarity maintenance.
