Question #1
Which part of the human kidney filters blood under high pressure?
A. Glomerulus
B. Collecting duct
C. Renal pelvis
D. Loop of Henle

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The glomerulus is a tuft of capillaries enclosed by the Bowman's capsule, where ultrafiltration occurs due to high hydrostatic pressure in the afferent arteriole. It filters water, ions, glucose, amino acids, urea into Bowman's space. Proteins and cells are retained. Filtration is passive. The filtrate then passes through the tubules for processing. GFR is regulated by JGA.

Question #3
The site of fertilization in the human female reproductive tract is usually the:
A. Ampulla of the fallopian tube
B. Ovary
C. Uterus
D. Cervix
