Practice questions on Bladder
A major part of the gall bladder contractions are due to:
- Secretin.
- Gastrin.
- Cholecystokinin (CCK).
- Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP).
Answer: C. Cholecystokinin (CCK) is the primary hormone responsible for stimulating the contraction of the gallbladder, which releases bile into the duodenum to aid in fat digestion. Secretin stimulates bicarbonate secretion, gastrin stimulates acid secretion, and VIP generally causes relaxation.

A term male infant is born with incomplete development of the dorsal aspect of the penile urethra, with the defect extending to the bladder, which is open onto the lower abdominal wall. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
- Hypospadias
- Bowen disease
- Balanoposthitis
- Epispadias
Answer: D. Epispadias is a rare congenital anomaly that may be mild or, as in this case, severe with a large open defect that must be repaired. The failure to close the bladder is termed exstrophy. ---
A major part of the gall bladder contractions are due to: - (
- Sympathetic contraction of the viscus.
- The overfilling of the gall bladder with bil
- The rate of cholesterol synthesis and excretion by the liver.
- A hormone synthesized by duodenal mucos
- Limited to a single tissue compartment
Answer: D. CCK, synthesized by duodenal mucosa, is the primary stimulus for gallbladder contraction. ---
A catheterized patient develops bladder stones. Urine culture grows a short, irregular gram-positive rod. The organism is ---
- Corynebacterium urealyticum
- Nocardia brasiliensis
- Actinomadura
- Erysipelothrix
- Usually mediated by non-specific mechanisms
Answer: A.
During voluntary inhibition of micturition when the bladder is full, which of the following responses occurs? ---
- Inhibit the pelvic nerve
- Inhibit the pudendal nerve
- Inhibit the hypogastric nerve
- Inhibit the parasympathetic system
- to prevent detrusor contraction. The pudendal nerve is kept active to maintain external sphincter contraction.
Answer: A.
