Renal system physiology

        Help!  

Question
Answer
In urine formation, solutes and water move from the lumen of the nephron into the   interstitial spaces.  
🗑
The passive movement of stolutes and water from the lumen of the renal tubule into the interstitial spaces relies in part on the total solute gradient surrounding the   nephron.  
🗑
___ increases the water permeability of the distal convoluted tubule and the collecting duct, allowing water to flow to areas of higher solute concentration, from the lumen of the nephron into the surrounding interstitial area   ADH Antidiuretic hormone  
🗑
Because carrier proteins are needed to move glucose from the lumen of the nephron into the interstitial spaces, there is a limit to the amount of glucose that can be   reabsorbed  
🗑
When all glucose carriers are bound with the glucose they are transporting, excess ________ is eliminated in urine.   glucose  
🗑
When a person consumes a large quantity of water, the excess water will be eliminated, producing   dilute urine  
🗑
Under conditions of dehydration, there is a benefit in being able to produce urin as concentrated as possible, retaining   precious water  
🗑
Although the medullary gradient makes it possible to excrete concentrated urine, urine dilution or concontration is under   HORMONAL CONTROL  
🗑
Name the hormone affecting renal function produced by the adrenal gland   Aldosterone  
🗑
Name the hormone affecting renal function manufactured by the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior pituitary gland   ADH  
🗑
Works to reabsorb soidium ions (and water) at the expense of losing potassium ions   Aldosterone  
🗑
It's site of action is the distal tubule   Aldosterone  
🗑
Makes the distal tubule and collecting duct more permeable to water, thereby allowing the body to reabsorb more water from the filtrate   ADH  
🗑


   

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.
