- Why is excretion important in order to achieve osmotic balance?arrow_forwardIf there is 180 Liters of fluid passing through the glomerulus every 24 hours, then why doesn’t all of that 180 liters turn into urine for excretion? 1. Because most of that fluid is reabsorbe 2. Because most of that fluid is secreted into the blood 3. Because most of that fluid is absorbed back into the glomerulus 4. Because when the bladder fills up to its maximum capacity, water is absorbed back into the body directly from the bladder.arrow_forwardwhat is a feature of glomerulus that contributes to its high efficiency in reabsorption?arrow_forward

- What is the function of the glomerulus?arrow_forwardWhat is the pathway that blood follows as it enters via the renal artery and later leaves via the renal vein?arrow_forwardThe only part of the nephron that originates from the embryonic ureteric bud is the (a) glomerular capsule, (b) proximal convoluted tubule, (c) nephron loop, (d) distal convoluted tubule, (e) collecting duct.arrow_forward
- Why is there much greater filtration through glomerular capillaries than through capillaries elsewhere in the body?arrow_forwardWhat does the glomerulus consist of?arrow_forwardIf the urinary excretion rate of a drug such as penicillin is greater than the rate at which it is filtered at the glomerulus, how else is it getting into the urine?arrow_forward
