ADV PHARM 5334 UTA EXAM 1 QUESTIONS
As glomerular filtrate moves through the ascending loop of Henle, the filtrate becomes
more dilute: why? - Answers -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? - Answers
-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? - Answers -
Glucose
Which of the following choices correctly traces the route of glomerular filtrate on its path
to the collecting duct of a nephron? - Answers -Bowman's capsule, proximal tubule,
descending loop of Henle, ascending loop of Henle, distal tubule
The renal system does not play a direct role in regulating which of the following? -
Answers -Blood temperature
Which of the following anatomical portion of a nephron connects the Bowman's capsule
to the loop of Henle? - Answers -Proximal convoluted tubule
How many nephrons does the average adult human kidney contain (a nephron is the
main functional unit of the kidney)? - Answers -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 nephron? - Answers -Glomerular filtration, tubular
reabsorption, tubular secretion
Which of the following is least likely to be present in the glomerular filtrate (the filtrate
produced by the nephron before it enters the loop of Henle) of a healthy adult nephron?
- Answers -Large molecular weight protein
A 26 year old African American diagnosed with AIDS, and also a heroine abuser,
presents with hypertension, microscopic hematuria, and renal insufficiency. The disease
does not go away with steroid therapy. What is a key feature on immunofluorescence? -
Answers -IgM and C3 deposition
A 7 year old child presents with hypoalbuminemia, edema, hyperlipidemia, and
proteinuria. The edema is in the periorbital region initially and eventually spreads to the
rest of the body. The patient is given steroid therapy and the disease goes away. What
is a key morphological feature of the patients disease? - Answers -fusion of the foot
processes
