- 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) podocytesarrow_forwardThe afferent arteriole delivers blood to the (a) renal artery (b) efferent arteriole (c) renal vein (d) capillaries of the glomerulus (e) peritubular capillariesarrow_forwardWhich one of the following statements is false?a. Blood pressure in the glomerular capillaries is greater than the osmotic pressure exerted by proteins in the plasma within the glomerular capillaries.b. If the osmotic pressure exerted by solutes in the peritubular capillaries is greater than the blood pressure in those capillaries, then water will be reabsorbed.c. Endothelial cells in glomerular capillaries are highly permeable, facilitating filtration of fluid into Bowman’s capsule.d. Constriction of the afferent arteriole is likely to reduce the volume of filtrate appearing in Bowman’s capsule.e. The efferent arteriole carries blood from the glomerular capillaries directly to the renal vein.0.5 pointsQuestion 2Your doctor calls with the results of your urinalysis and tells you that they found proteinuria, the presence of abnormal amounts of protein in your urine sample. What could have caused this?a. Infection and inflammation in the kidney.b. Abnormally high concentration of plasma…arrow_forward
- When arterial blood pressure drops below normal, which renal function occur as a result of sympathetic nervous system activation? a. Afferent arteriole vasodilation b. Decreased ADH secretion c. Decreased renin secretion d. Afferent arteriole vasoconstrictionarrow_forwardADh or vassopressin affects water balance in the kidney more specifically it ______ a. Delays water reabsorption a secreting salt b. Inserts aquaPorins into the apical membrane of the cells of Henles Loop c. Increases the active transport of sodium out of the collecting duct d. Insert aquaPorins into the apical membrane of the cells of the collecting ductarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about the kidney is false? a. The renal pelvis drains into the ureter. b. The renal pyramids are in the medulla. c. The cortex covers the capsule. d. Nephrons are in the renal cortex.arrow_forward
- Glomerular filtration can be increased by which of the following? A. Increasing blood flow via afferent arteriole B. Decreasing blood flow via afferent arteriole C. Decreasing arterial blood pressure D. Increasing blood flow via efferent arteriole The answer is (A) Increasing blood flow via afferent arteriole. Please explain why it is not the other options (B,C,D)arrow_forwardSeveral pharmacological agents have been shown to lower the pressure of the filtrate inside the lumen of nephrons. What affect will this have? a hydrostatic pressure of fluid in the Bowman’s capsule increases, GFR increases b hydrostatic pressure of fluid in the Bowman’s capsule decreases, GFR decreases c hydrostatic pressure of fluid in the Bowman’s capsule increases, GFR decreases d hydrostatic pressure of fluid in the Bowman’s capsule decreases, GFR increasesarrow_forwardI.

Proximal tubule, thick ascending limb of the loop of Henlearrow_forwardGiven: A patient’s GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is 125 ml/min, and his urine is produced at a rate of 1.25 ml/min. (A) By what factor is the inulin concentrate in his urine. (B) The concentration of glucose in his plasma is 5 mmol/l. His renal reabsorption of glucose is completely inhibited. What would be the concentration of glucose in his urine? (answer parts a and b)arrow_forwardA pt was born with a rare genetic disorder in which the proximal tubules of her nephrons express half the number of aquaporins as normal. What will result? A. reduced reabsorption of water, although as much reabsorption of Na+ as is typical? b. reduced reabsorption of water, Na+ and glucose in the proximal tubules? c. Reduced reabsorption of both water and Na+ in equal proportions? D. Reduced reabsorption of all materials in the proximal tubules.arrow_forward
