Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which region of the kidney contains the glomeruli and Bowman's capsules?

  1. A. Medulla
  2. B. Pelvis
  3. C. Cortex
  4. D. Ureter
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: CC. Cortex
The cortex is the outer region of the kidney and contains the renal corpuscles, which include the glomerulus and Bowman's capsule. The medulla contains the loops of Henle and collecting ducts, while the pelvis collects urine.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 2/3

During ultrafiltration, which of the following substances is NOT normally filtered into the Bowman's capsule?

  1. A. Glucose
  2. B. Plasma proteins
  3. C. Urea
  4. D. Water
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: BB. Plasma proteins
Plasma proteins are too large to pass through the filtration membrane of the glomerulus and therefore remain in the blood. Small molecules such as glucose, urea, water, and mineral ions are filtered into the Bowman's capsule.
