🗑
show renal pyramids; renal corpuscles  
🗑
A renal corpuscle is a__________, whereas a renal tubule is a__________. cluster of blood capillaries and glomerular capsule; highly coiled tubule exiting the glomerular capsule special blood cell in the kidneys; tubule that leads from the kidneys to the bladder storage area for urine; tubule that carries urine from the urinary bladder outside glandular structure that regulates blood pressure; blood vessel that regulates the flow of blood into the glomerulus   show
🗑
Podocytes and pedicels are associated with what structure? Collecting duct Distal tubule Glomerular capsule Peritubular capillaries   show
🗑
The first capillary bed associated with the nephron allows for__________. the filtration of blood the reabsorbtion of nutrients the adjustment of blood pH the reversal of blood flow   show
🗑
show renal tubule  
🗑
You are dissecting a kidney in class and, after cutting a sagittal section through the kidney, decide to remove some of the lighter-colored inner structures near the superior end of the ureter. You remove a funnel-shaped sac that connects directly into the ureter, along with many tubes that converge to form the funnel-shaped sac. Which structures have you removed? Renal medulla and renal pyramids Renal pelvis and the calyces Renal cortex and the renal medulla Adrenal glands   show
🗑
You are doing a dissection in class. You need to cut open a kidney, but first you must remove a tough, fibrous membrane covering it. What is this structure? Renal medulla Major calyx Renal cortex Renal capsule   show
🗑
The reabsorption of glucose occurs primarily through the walls of the__________. glomerular capsule nephron loop proximal tubule distal tubule   show
🗑
show Glucose appears in the urine.  
🗑
show reabsorbed by passive transport  
🗑
The countercurrent mechanism functions primarily in the__________. renal corpuscle proximal tubule distal tubule nephron loop   show
🗑
What would be the likely outcome if tubular reabsorption in the nephron did not occur? Accumulation of toxic waste Excessive loss of fluids Cessation of urination Excessive retention of electrolytes and glucose   show
🗑
show distal tubule and collecting duct  
🗑
show Actively into the entire renal tubule  
🗑
Which of the following would increase the rate of glomerular filtration? Decreased blood pressure Increased blood pressure Constriction of the afferent arteriole Dilation of the efferent arteriole   show
🗑
The efferent arteriole is stimulated to vasoconstrict. What effect will this have on glomerular filtration rate? Glomerular filtration rate will increase. Glomerular filtration rate will decrease. Glomerular filtration will stop.   show
🗑
show Afferent arteriole, glomerular capsule, efferent arteriole, and urine  
🗑
show Collecting duct  
🗑
Liam is a body builder and frequently consumes protein powder as part of his fitness regimen. He consumes more protein than his body actually uses. What happens to the excess protein? It is filtered through the glomerular capillary into the glomerular capsule and into the nephron, where it is finally excreted in the urine. It is broken down into urea by the liver, which is then filtered into the glomerular capsule as well as secreted elsewhere in the nephron.   show
🗑
show Creatinine  
🗑
Which choice describes the countercurrent mechanism of the nephron loop? Water moves out of the ascending limb; sodium moves into the ascending limb Water moves into the ascending limb; sodium moves out of the ascending limb Water moves out of the descending limb; sodium moves out of the ascending limb Water moves into the descending limb; sodium moves out of the descending limb   show
🗑
Barbara has a condition called gout. The inflammation and pain in her joints is due to excess__________ in her plasma, which leads to crystal deposits in her great toe joint. uric acid urea calcium ions amino acids   show
🗑
As a result of very low arterial blood pressure, glomerular hydrostatic pressure__________ and filtration rate__________. increases; increases increases; decreases decreases; increases decreases; decreases   show
🗑
What is the function of the countercurrent mechanism in the nephron? It creates a highly concentrated interstitial fluid so that urine can be concentrated by the collecting ducts. It is a method to transport sodium in order to control sodium concentration in the blood. It keeps the volume of water lost in the urine relatively constant. It keeps interstitial fluid hydrated to maintain blood pressure.   show
🗑
A fetus develops without macula densa in its nephrons. Which of the following will occur as a result? Loss of the ability to detect sodium, potassium, and chloride ions in the nephron loop and to secrete renin in response. Loss of renin secretion in response low blood pressure conditions. Loss of the ability of fluid to pass from the glomerular capillaries into the Bowman’s capsule. Loss of the ability to convert angiotensin I into angiotensin II.   show
🗑
Aldosterone from the adrenal cortex causes sodium ions to be__________ and potassium ions to be__________. excreted; conserved excreted; excreted conserved; conserved conserved; excreted   show
🗑
show The rate at which substance are removed from the blood  
🗑
show decreases  
🗑
show Both vasodilation of the afferent arteriole and vasoconstriction of the efferent arteriole.  
🗑
The juxtaglomerular apparatus regulates the filtration rate by__________. causing vasodilation of the peritubular capillaries causing vasoconstriction of the peritubular capillaries causing vasoconstriction of both the afferent and efferent arterioles causing increased osmotic pressure in the glomerular capsule   show
🗑
show Microscopic projections called microvilli  
🗑
A decrease in the glomerular capsule hydrostatic pressure will__________ the rate of glomerular filtration. increase decrease not change have a variable effect on   show
🗑
How does the composition of glomerular filtrate differ from that of plasma? Filtrate contains many substances that are not present in plasma. Filtrate contains most of the same substances as plasma except for larger protein molecules. Filtrate has less water and fewer electrolytes than plasma. Filtrate has more uric acid and creatinine than plasma.   show
🗑
