Sample Questions

1multiple choice

Which part of the nephron has a brush border (microvilli)?

Show answer

c

The PCT (proximal convoluted tubule) is lined with microvilli (brush border), greatly increasing surface area for maximum reabsorption. Therefore, the correct answer is option (3) PCT.

2multiple choice

Glucose is normally absent in urine because it is:

Show answer

b

Glucose is completely reabsorbed in the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) by active transport. Glycosuria indicates blood glucose exceeds renal threshold. Therefore, the correct answer is option (2) Completely reabsorbed in the PCT.

3multiple choice

Which organ produces urea in the human body?

Show answer

c

Urea is produced in the liver via the ornithine cycle (urea cycle) from ammonia generated by deamination of amino acids. Therefore, the correct answer is option (3) Liver.

4multiple choice

The renal threshold for glucose is approximately:

Show answer

c

When blood glucose exceeds ~180 mg/dL, the PCT cannot reabsorb it all, and glucose appears in urine (glycosuria). Therefore, the correct answer is option (3) 180 mg/dL.
