Answer
18. Option e is correct. Sodium potassium pump is found in
apical and basolateral membrane both of intercalated cells of
collecting duct in renal tubule.
19. Option c is the correct answer. Vasopressin is secreted from
posteriar pituitary which is also known as antidiuretic hormone. It
stimulates kidney to conserve water and thus less amount of urine
is formed.
20. Option e is correct. Angiotensin has multiple effects. It
causes anterior vasoconstriction due to which blood pressure
increase. It also stimulate adrenal gland to release ADH. It also
modulate the sensation of thirst by acting on hypothalamus.
21. Option a is correct. Sum of starling’s force within the
renal corpsules is known as glomerular filtration pressure.
22. Option e is correct. If reabsorption will not occur, most of
the ions and glucose will excreted out in urine which will cause
high osmolarity with large volume of urine.
