Urinary system — practice question

Fig. 3.1 shows a photomicrograph of a kidney section containing several kidney tubules.
(a(i))[3]

K and L mark the diameter of a collecting duct. Draw a straight line connecting K and L on the collecting duct in the photomicrograph, measure that line, and write down the measurement. The true distance between K and L is $0.06\text{ mm}$. Determine the magnification of the photomicrograph and give it to the nearest whole number.

(a(ii))[5]

In the space below, produce a large drawing of the collecting duct and loop of Henle labelled in Fig. 3.1, showing them exactly as they appear in the photomicrograph.

(b)[2]

A person with Type 1 diabetes produces urine containing glucose. Describe a test that could be used to determine whether glucose is present in a urine sample. Include: • description of test • positive result
