Question
Answer
ECF   Increase in NaCL decrease K+  
🗑
ICF   Decrease in NaCl Increase K+  
🗑
plasma volume measured by   radiolableled albumin  
🗑
ECV measured   inulin  
🗑
Cx>GFR   net tubular secretion  
🗑
Cx<GFR   net tubular reabsorption  
🗑
Cx=GFR   there is no net secretion or reabsorption  
🗑
PGE on afferent arterioles   dilate arterioles ↑ RPF, ↑GFR, so FF is constant  
🗑
Angiotensin II on efferent arterioles   constriction ↑ GFR so ↑FF, ↓ RPF  
🗑
Afferent arteriole constriction   ↓RPF ↓GFR NC in FF  
🗑
Efferent arteriole constriction   ↑ GFR so ↑FF, ↓ RPF  
🗑
↑ plasma protein concentration   NC RPF ↓ GFR ↓FF  
🗑
↓ plasma protein concentration   NC RPF ↑ GFR ↑FF  
🗑
constriction on ureter   NC RPF ↓ GFR ↓FF  
🗑
what blocks efferent arterioles   ACE inhibitors  
🗑
What blocks afferent arterioles   NSAIDS  
🗑
clinical measure to estimate GFR   Creatinine clearance  
🗑
which terminal vessels carry blood toward the glomerulus   Afferent arterioles  
🗑
site reabsorption of all glucose and amino acids, and the majority of bicarbonate, sodium and water   PCT  
🗑
site of active reabsorption K+, Na+, Cl-   Thick ALH`  
🗑
site of 50% of urea absorption   PCT [passively]  
🗑
Site of active reabsorption of Na+, Cl-   Early distal convoluted tubule  
🗑
Site of action of thiazide diuretics   DCT  
🗑
Site of action of K+ sparing diuretics   collecting tubules  
🗑
section that is impermeable to water   thick ascending loop of henle  
🗑
site where ammonia is excreted to act as a buffer for secreted H+ ions   PCT  
🗑
Portion of the nephron which is impermeable to Na+ and passively reabsorbs water   Thin descending loop of Henle  
🗑
Aldosterone sensitive site where Na+ is exchanged for K+ and H+   collecting tubules  
🗑
Site of active Ca2+ reabsorption that is controlled by PTH   early DCT  
🗑
Site of action of loop diuretics   Thick ascending loop of Henle  
🗑
Section where reabsorption of water is regulated by vasopressin   Collecting tubules  
🗑
Site of action of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors   PCT  
🗑
section which containes principle cells and intercalated cells   Collecting tubules  
🗑
Site of 85% of all phosphate reabsorption [via cotransport]   PCT  
🗑
RPF can be estimated   PAH  
🗑
urine is more hypertonic   Thin descending loop of Henle  
🗑
Makes urine more hypotonic   Early DCT, Thick Ascending Loop of henle  
🗑
ANP action   [secrete atrial pressure]decrease Na+, increase GFR  
🗑
PTH action   secreted in response to decrease plasma [Ca2+] increase Ca2+ reabsorption DCT decrease in PO reabsorption PCT  
🗑
Aldosterone   secreted in response to decrease BV and increase plasma K+ causes Increase in Na+ reabsorption and K+ secretion  
🗑
Vasopressin ADH   secreted in response to increase plasma osmolarity and decrease blood volume  
🗑
AT II   increase intravascular volume --> in Na+ and HCO3- reabsorption  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
