Question #2
The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in a healthy adult is approximately:
A. 125 mL/min
B. 250 mL/min
C. 50 mL/min
D. 500 mL/min

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the volume of filtrate formed per minute by both kidneys, normally about 125 mL/min (180 L/day). Nearly 99% of the filtrate is reabsorbed, leaving about 1-2 liters of urine per day. GFR is regulated by the juxtaglomerular apparatus. It's an important clinical indicator of kidney function, estimated from serum creatinine.

Question #3
The pancreas functions as both an exocrine and endocrine gland. Which hormone is secreted by the islets of Langerhans?
A. Pepsin
B. Gastrin
C. Insulin
D. Bile

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The endocrine part of the pancreas—the islets of Langerhans—contains β-cells that secrete insulin (lowers blood glucose), α-cells secrete glucagon (raises blood glucose), and δ-cells secrete somatostatin. Exocrine pancreas secretes digestive enzymes (trypsin, lipase, amylase). Pepsin is from stomach, bile from liver, gastrin from stomach. Insulin deficiency causes diabetes mellitus.
