This set of Human Anatomy Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Urogenital Apparatus – Ureters & Urinary Bladder”.
1. __________ is located at the junction with the bladder made of smooth involuntary muscle.
a) Urethra
b) Internal Urethral sphincters
c) External Urethral Sphincters
d) Bladder
View Answer
Explanation: Internal Urethral sphincters are a muscle which constricts the internal urethral orifice. It is made of smooth muscle so it is involuntary.
2. Located on the pelvic floor and is made of skeletal muscle- Internal Urethral.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: It is External Urethral Sphincters. External Urethral Sphincters surrounds whole length of the membranous portion of the urethra. It is enclosed in urogenital diaphragm.
3. Just posterior to the symphysis pubis; hollow, collapsible sac empty=deflated balloon; full=pear shape. Name this part.
a) Bladder
b) Urters
c) External Urethral Sphincters
d) Urethra
View Answer

4. How many ureters are present?
a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4
View Answer

5. The bladder is lined with _________ epithelium.
a) Simple columnar
b) Transitional
c) Stratified squamous
d) Simple cuboidal
View Answer

a) Urethra
b) Urinary bladder
c) Renal Pelvis area
d) Kidneys
View Answer
Explanation: Trigone is a smooth triangular region of an internal urinary bladder formed by two ureteric orifices and internal urethral orifice, the area is very sensitive to expansion and once stretched to a certain degree the urinary bladder signals brain of its need to empty.
8. Urinary bladder is divided into ________ regions.
