As glomerular filtrate moves through the ascending loop of Henle, the filtrate becomes more dilute:
why? - correct answer-The ascending loop of Henle is permeable to ions but impermeable to water
Which of the following has a rate of urinary excretion (units of solute per unit time) that is almost
always identical to its rate of glomerular filtration in a healthy adult? - correct answer-Creatinine
Which of the following has a rate of urinary excretion (units of solute per unit time) that is always
much lower than its rate of glomerular filtration in a healthy adult? - correct answer-Glucose
Which of the following choices correctly traces the route of glomerular filtrate on its path to the col
lecting duct of a nephron? - correct answer-
Bowman's capsule, proximal tubule, descending loop of Henle, ascending loop of Henle, distal tubul
e
The renal system does not play a direct role in regulating which of the following? - correct answer-
Blood temperature
Which of the following anatomical portion of a nephron connects the Bowman's capsule to the loop
of Henle? - correct answer-Proximal convoluted tubule
How many nephrons does the average adult human kidney contain (a nephron is the main functional
unit of the kidney)? - correct answer-Roughly 1,000,000
Urine is formed in a three-
step process: which of the following gives the correct order in which these steps take place in the n
ephron? - correct answer-Glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption, tubular secretion
Which of the following is least likely to be present in the glomerular filtrate (the filtrate produced b
y the nephron before it enters the loop of Henle) of a healthy adult nephron? - correct answer-
Large molecular weight protein
