NEET Zoology Urine Formation MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

Which of the following statements about urine formation is correct?

A

The collecting duct is primarily responsible for maintaining the osmolarity of urine through water reabsorption.

B

The loop of Henle is the main site for the reabsorption of glucose and amino acids.

C

ADH release is inhibited during dehydration, resulting in dilute urine formation.

D

The juxta-glomerular apparatus regulates GFR by releasing renin when there is an increase in blood flow.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The collecting duct plays a significant role in reabsorbing large amounts of water, thereby concentrating urine. Statement B is incorrect as the proximal convoluted tubule is primarily responsible for glucose and amino acid reabsorption. Statement C is false because ADH is released during dehydration to concentrate urine. Statement D is misleading as renin is released in response to a decrease in blood flow to regulate GFR.
