Aldosterone affects sodium balance by impacting sodium reabsorption in the distal nephron. If MAP and/or GFR falls, how will this system function? O Increased levels of aldosterone add epithelial sodium channels (ENaCs) to the luminal membrane of the collecting duct. O Increased levels of aldosterone remove epithelial sodium channels (ENaCs) from the luminal membrane of the collecting duct. O Decreased levels of aldosterone allow increased expression of epithelial sodium channels (ENaCs) in the collecting duct. Decreased levels of aldosterone decrease expression of epithelial sodium channels (ENaCs) in the collecting duct.

Which of the following does not contribute to the process of filtration? (a) active transport by epithelial cells lining renal tubules (b) large surface area for filtration (c) low permeability of glomerular capillaries (d) high hydrostatic blood pressure in glomerular capillaries (e) podocytes
Reabsorption depends on _________. a. osmosis across the nephron wall b. active transport of sodium across the nephron wall c. a steep solute concentration gradient d. all of the above
Fatty tissue holds the kidneys in place. Extremely rapid weight loss may cause this tissue to shrink so that the kidneys slip from their normal position. On rare occasions, the slippage can put a kink in one or both ureters and block urine flow. Suggest what might then happen to the kidneys.
As the text noted, two-thirds of the water and solutes that the body reclaims by reabsorption in nephrons occurs in the proximal tubule. Proximal tubule cells have large numbers of mitochondria and demand a great deal of oxygen. Explain why.
Water and small solutes enter nephrons during ________. a. filtration b. reabsorption c. secretion d. both a and b
Figure 41.6 Which of the following statements about the nephron is false? The collecting duct empties into the distal convoluted tubule. The Bowman’s capsule surrounds the glomerulus. The loop of Henle is between the proximal and distal convoluted tubules. The loop of Henle empties into the distal convoluted tubule.
Describe (and label on a diagram) the structures of a nephron (including associated blood vessels) and give the functions of each structure.
Blood pressure forces water and small solutes out of blood and into nephrons during ________. a. glomerular filtration c. tubular secretion b. tubular reabsorption d. both a and c
