Figure shows human urinary system with structures labelled A to D. Select option which correctly identifies them and gives their characteristics and/or functions.
A
D-Cortex – outer part of kidney and do not contain any part of nephrons
B
A-Adrenal gland – located at the anterior part of kidney. Secrete Catecholamines which stimulate glycogen breakdown
C
B-Pelvis – broad funnel shaped space inner to hilum, directly connected to loops of Henle
D
C-Medulla – inner zone of kidney and contains complete nephrons
Detailed Solution
A is the adrenal gland, located at the anterior part of the kidney. It secretes catecholamines, which stimulate the breakdown of glycogen.
The cortex contains parts of nephrons, the pelvis connects to collecting ducts, and the medulla holds only the loops of Henle and collecting ducts.
