Sample questions

1. Which list gives main functions of the kidneys?

   1. Form urine, excrete wastes, make erythropoietin and renin
   2. Make insulin and glucagon
   3. Store urine until micturition
   4. Make bile and digest fat
   Show answer

   Answer: A. Form urine, excrete wastes, make erythropoietin and renin

   Kidneys form urine (water, electrolyte, acid-base balance), excrete wastes, make erythropoietin (red cell production) and renin (BP control). The bladder stores urine.

2. What is the effect of aldosterone on the kidney?

   1. More sodium and water reabsorbed, more potassium excreted
   2. No tubular effect, acts on bladder only
   3. More sodium excreted, potassium retained
   4. More water excreted, sodium unchanged
   Show answer

   Answer: A. More sodium and water reabsorbed, more potassium excreted

   Aldosterone comes from the adrenal cortex. Profound diuresis can cause hypokalaemia.

3. How many afferent and efferent vessels does a typical lymph node have?

   1. Several afferent, one efferent
   2. No vessels, only capillaries
   3. One afferent, several efferent
   4. Equal numbers, one each
   Show answer

   Answer: A. Several afferent, one efferent

   Up to 4-5 afferent vessels enter. One efferent vessel leaves at the hilum. Lymph usually passes 8-10 nodes before reaching blood.

4. Which layer is shed during menstruation?

   1. Functional layer of the endometrium
   2. Basal layer of the endometrium
   3. Perimetrium
   4. Myometrium
   Show answer

   Answer: A. Functional layer of the endometrium

   The functional layer thickens and gains blood vessels in the first half of the cycle. Spiral arteries supply it. The basal layer lies next to the myometrium.

5. In a 28-day cycle, which phase follows menstruation and thickens the functional endometrial layer under oestrogen?

   1. Menstrual phase
   2. Menopause
   3. Secretory phase
   4. Proliferative phase (about 10 days)
   Show answer

   Answer: D. Proliferative phase (about 10 days)

   Cycle: menstrual about 4 days, proliferative about 10 days, secretory about 14 days. Ovulation is near day 14.
