| Normal glomerular filtrate contains all of the following except ________. urea solutes red blood cells uric acid water | red blood cells |
| The first step in urine formation is metabolic waste products are produced by cells fluid and solutes are filtered out of the glomerular capillaries into the glomerular capsule. ADH is secreted by the pituitary gland. | fluid and solutes are filtered out of the glomerular capillaries into the glomerular capsule. |
| The presence of protein in the urine is called ____, and may indicate ______. leukouria, a bladder or kidney infection proteinuria, damage to the glomerular filtration membrane urea toxicity, too much protein in the diet | proteinuria, damage to the glomerular filtration membrane |
| During urine formation, the overall purpose of countercurrent exchange is to ___. increase the volume of urine produced in an effort to lower blood volume increase the osmolarity of the peritubular fluid, which then increases the reabsorption of water | increase the osmolarity of the peritubular fluid, which then increases the reabsorption of water |
| The descending limb of the nephron loop ___. actively pumps water into the ascending loop contains filtrate that becomes more concentrated toward the bottom of the loop is not permeable to water | contains filtrate that becomes more concentrated toward the bottom of the loop |
| In the thick ascending limb of the nephron loop, ________. glucose freely diffuses out into the peritubular fluid ions (such as Na+ and Cl-) are actively pumped out into the peritubular fluid | ions (such as Na+ and Cl-) are actively pumped out into the peritubular fluid |
| An increase in antidiuretic hormone (ADH) causes the kidneys to ________ the reabsorption of water, leading to a ________ output of urine. increase; lower decrease; higher increase; higher decrease; lower | increase; lower |
| Which of the following describes the mechanism by which antidiuretic hormone (ADH) functions? | ADH increases the number of water channels on the tubules and collecting ducts |
| The inner lining of the urinary bladder and ureters is composed of ________ epithelium. simple cuboidal simple squamous stratified squamous transitional | transitional |
| Select the correct statement about the ureters. The ureters are lined with simple squamous epithelium to allow for faster diffusion of urine into the bladder. The ureters deliver urine to the bladder with both gravity and smooth muscle contractions. | The ureters deliver urine to the bladder with both gravity and smooth muscle contractions. |

| hypovolemia | body fluid declines, but osmolarity remains normal |
| dehydration | a decline in body fluid with a rise in ECF osmolarity |
| What determines the movement of water from one fluid compartment to another? The temperature difference between compartments The relative volume in each compartment The relative concentration of solutes in each compartment | The relative concentration of solutes in each compartment |
| The ________ fluid compartment of the body consists of all of the fluid inside the cells, whereas the ________ fluid compartment consists of fluid outside the cells, such as interstitial fluid and plasma. | intracellular; extracellular |
| If the extracellular fluid (ECF) becomes hypotonic with respect to the intracellular fluid (ICF), which event will likely occur? | Water will move from the interstitial fluid into the cells. |
| Most body water intake is from ________, whereas most body water lost is via ________. metabolic water; cutaneous transpiration drinking; urination drinking; cutaneous transpiration and expired air metabolic water; sweat drinking; radiation | drinking; urination |
| The majority (65%) of body fluid is in the form of Saliva Tissue (interstitial) fluid Blood plasma and lymph Intracellular fluid (ICF) Extracellular fluid (ECF) | Intracellular fluid (ICF) |
| Which statement(s) is/are true regarding obligatory water loss? it can be controlled effectively by not letting the body become too warm. it is unavoidable. it is equal to a persons maximum daily urine output. | it is unavoidable. |
| Which of the following occurs in response to an increases in blood volume and blood pressure? ADH release is increased. The kidneys produce less urine. The renal tubules reabsorb more sodium. ADH release is inhibited. | ADH release is inhibited. |
| Hemorrhaging or severe diarrhea would likely result in which of the following? A decrease in water volume and a decrease in osmolarity An increase in ECF volume but a decrease in ICF volume volume depletion (hypovolemia) an increase in urine output | volume depletion (hypovolemia) |
