| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The ureters pass anterior to the bladder and enter it from below. | False |
| Albuminuria is a common sign of diabetes mellitus. | False |
| Diseases that affect the descending corticospinal tracts may limit inhibition of the sacral somatic motor neurons and thus could result in urinary incontinence. | True |
| Ethly (drinking) alcohol stimulates the secretion of ADH, thereby reducing reabsorption by the collecting data. | False |
| Parathyroid hormone increases phosphate excretion by the proximal convoluted tubule as well as promotes synthesis of calcitriol. | True |
| The countercurrent multiplier mechanism for water conservation was discovered by limiting studies to humans and thus hypothesizing how form determines function. | False |
| The thick segment of the nephron loop is impermeable to water. | True |
| Glomerular filtration occurs because glomerular oncotic pressure overrides glomerular blood pressure. | False |
| Angiotensin-converting enzyme is found only in the kidneys and converts angiotensinogen to angiotensin I. | False |
| Cells in the cleft between the afferent and efferent arterioles and among capillaries of the glomerulus are known as mesangial cells. | True |
| Glomerular capillaries suffer little damage from hypertension because of the protective influence of the afferent arterioles. | False |
| The fenestrated endothelium of the capillary has pores small enough to exclude blood cells from the filtrate. | True |
| The most toxic of our metabolic wastes are nitrogenous waste. | True |
