Answer 1

1.M

Detrussor muscle is found in bladder walls enables in contraction and relaxation during the urination

2.Q

Erythropoietin is secreted in the renal system this is responsible for the synthesis of red blood cells

3.B

This is also called as Bowman's capsule.It is a double layered structure covering the glomerulus

4.H

The movement of the blood plasma by a process of filtration done is called as glomerular filtration

5.J

The movement of blood occurs in the glomerulus

6.O

This has cluster of capillaries

7.E

Micturation is a process of excreting urine from the bladder

8.C

This is the most important part acting as a structural and functional unit of the renal system

9.A

This is the tubular portion

10.I

A portion of nephron where filtration occurs

11.R

This is the outer portion of the kidney called as outer cortex

12.I

This is the inner portion of the kidney

13.P

This collects the urine after formation and transmits to urinary bladder

14.D

This is a tubular portion

15.F

Renin is an enzyme secreted in the renal system which regulates the blood pressure by stimulation of angiotensin mechanism

16.U

This is the triangular structure in the base of the bladder

17.N

The tubular reabsorption refers to the absorption of command other elements back into blood from the renal system

18.D

The tubular absorption and secretion occurs here

19.T

This is a tube which starts from the kidney to urinary bladder transmitting the urine formed in the kidney

20.L

Urethra is the opening of the renal system at the end where urine can be passed out.In simple it is a passageway.

21.G

Urinary bladder stores urine
