The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of selecting the INCORRECT statement regarding the renal system, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Evaluate the First Statement:** - **Statement:** "Efferent arteriole has wider lumen than that of afferent arteriole." - **Analysis:** This statement is incorrect. The afferent arteriole has a wider lumen compared to the efferent arteriole. The afferent arteriole brings blood into the glomerulus, while the efferent arteriole carries blood away from it. - **Conclusion:** This statement is the incorrect one. 2. **Evaluate the Second Statement:** - **Statement:** "Efferent arteriole arises from the glomerulus." - **Analysis:** This statement is true. The efferent arteriole does indeed arise from the glomerulus after the filtration process. - **Conclusion:** This statement is correct. 3. **Evaluate the Third Statement:** - **Statement:** "Efferent arteriole gives rise to form peritubular capillary network." - **Analysis:** This statement is also true. The efferent arteriole branches out to form the peritubular capillary network, which surrounds the proximal and distal convoluted tubules (PCT and DCT). - **Conclusion:** This statement is correct. 4. **Evaluate the Fourth Statement:** - **Statement:** "Renal artery enters the kidney and divides into afferent arterioles." - **Analysis:** This statement is true as well. The renal artery supplies blood to the kidney and divides into several afferent arterioles that lead to the glomeruli. - **Conclusion:** This statement is correct. ### Final Conclusion: The INCORRECT statement among the options provided is the first one: "Efferent arteriole has wider lumen than that of afferent arteriole." ---
