Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
Urine is formed in the kidney. The tubes which connect the kidney and urinary bladder are known as the ureter. From the kidney, urine is propelled into the urinary bladder through ureters which are made of smooth muscle fibres. The bladder stores urine, allowing urination to be infrequent and can be controlled. The urethra is a long tube which connects urinary bladder to the urinary meatus for removal of urine from the body. In males, urethra travels through the penis and meet the urethral meatus located at the tip of the penis. In females, urethra connects to the urethral meatus above the vagina. The urethra is also known as the urinary opening. So the correct sequence of urine movement is Kidney -->Ureter -->Bladder--> Urethra.
So, the correct answer is 'Kidney -->Ureter -->Bladder -->Urethra'.

Which of the following does not help in excretion?

  1. Liver

  2. Sweat glands

  3. Pancreas

  4. Both A and B
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
In liver the toxic ammonia is converted to urea which is filtered by kidney to form urine. Sweat glands help in excretion of excess salts and water in the form of sweat. Hence, both these organs help in excretion. Pancreas on the other hand, secrete the hormones insulin and glucagon and digestive enzymes. Hence, it has endocrine and digestive functions but not excretory functions.
So, the correct answer is 'Pancreas'.

Average quantity of urea excreted daily humans per day is

  1. 10 - 15 g

  2. 25 - 30 g

  3. 40 - 50 g

  4. 100 - 500 mg
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The composition of urine in humans is 95% water, 2.5 % urea and 2.5% other waste. As urea is the major excretory waste humans are considered ureotelic., On an average, 25-30 g of urea is excreted out per day.

So, the correct answer is '25-30 g'.

B Correct answer
Explanation
An adult human on an average excretes 1 to 1.5 liters of urine per day. It is light yellow in color, slightly acidic with a characteristic odor. The composition of urine is 95% water, 2.5 % urea and 2.5% other waste. As urea is the major excretory waste humans are considered ureotelic.
So, the correct answer is '95% water, 2.5 % urea and 2.5% other waste'.
