This set of Human Physiology online quiz focuses on “Excretory Products and Elimination – Composition and Conduction of Urine”.
1. Maximum absorption of Na+ and K+ occurs in __________
a) Loop of Henle
b) Bowman’s capsule
c) DCT
d) PCT
View Answer
Explanation: PCT is proximal convoluted tubule. It is the convoluted portion of the vertebrate nephron that lies between Bowman’s capsule and the loop of Henle and functions in resorption of sugar, sodium and chloride ions.

3. Glomerular hydrostatic pressure is present in ________
a) Tubule of kidney
b) Bowman’s capsule
c) Malpighian tubule
d) Glomerulus
View Answer
Explanation: Glomerulus is a tuft of small blood vessels called capillaries located within Bowman’s capsule within the kidney. Blood enters Glomerulus by single arteriole called an afferent arteriole and leaves by an efferent arteriole.
