- True or false All chemicals in the glomerular capillaries are filtered into the nephron. Chemicals move from the glomerular caspule directly to the distal convoluted tubule of a nephron.arrow_forwardRenal tubules cannot reabsorb HCO3–; yet HCO3–concentration in the tubular fluid falls while in the blood plasma itrises. Explain this apparent contradiction.arrow_forward• The composition of urine and how this can change due to kidney diseasearrow_forward
- Which glomerular arteriole is larger, and why? the efferent, because it increases hydrostatic pressure in the glomerulus the efferent, because it increases colloid oncotic pressure in the glomerulus the afferent, because it increases hydrostatic pressure in the glomerulus the afferent, because it increases colloid oncotic pressure in the glomerulusarrow_forwardDuring embryonic development of the kidneys the glomeruli form from the _____. ends of blood vessels branching off the aorta peritoneal funnels of the metanephric tubules somites running alongside the dorsal hollow nerve cord neural crest cells and epidermal placodesarrow_forwardTo say that your body has somatic control over your external urethral sphincter that means you can ________ control that sphincter.arrow_forward
- Which of the following willdecrease filtration at theglomerulus? A. Increased number ofpodocytes at the glomerulus B. A relatively largediameter of the efferentarteriolescompared to the afferentarteriole. C. Low colloid osmoticpressure D. Low capsular pressurearrow_forwardOne reason for the difference in length of Henle‘s loops associated with nephrons in the cortex and cortico-medullary junctionarrow_forwardThe first step in making urine is the formation of filtrate. Explain how this step occurs. explain: the pressures involved, how the histology of the structure where this occurs facilitates filtrate formation, and what goes into the filtrate.arrow_forward
- Considering the distal convoluted tubule of the amphibiannephron, explain how changes in the permeability of the tubulewall to water affect the amount of pure, osmotically free waterexcreted in the urine. Define what is meant by pure, osmoticallyfree water.arrow_forwardDifferences between oesophagus and ureterarrow_forwardThe function of hormones and enzymes (kidney) (ADH, aldosterone, Renin, Angiotensin, etc)arrow_forward
