1. 1. What effects do exercise and body position have on renal blood flow?: they
activate renal sympathetic neurons and cause mild vasoconstriction
2. 2. Blood vessels of the kidneys are innervated by the:: sympathetic nervous system
3. 3. When renin is released, it is capable of which action?: formation of angiotensin I
4. 4. Which effect does natriuretic peptides have during heart failure when the
heart dilates?: inhibition of renin and aldosterone
5. 5. What is the direct action of atrial natriuretic hormone?: sodium excretion
6. 6. Which term is used to identify the movement of fluids and solutes from the
tubular lumen to the peritubular capillary plasma?: tubular reabsorption
7. 7. Which statement is true regarding urodilatin?: urodiatin is stimulated by a rise in blood
pressure and an increase in extracellular volume
8. 8. Compared to a younger individual, how is the specific gravity fo urine in
older adults affected?: the specific gravity of urine in older adults is considered low normal
9. 9. How are glucose and insulin used to treat hyperkalemia associated with
acute renal failure?: when insulin transports glucose into the cell, it also carries potassium with it

or skin culture for which bacteria?: streptococcus
13. 13. What is the cause of smoky, brown-colored urine resulting from acute
poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis?: presence of red blood cells
14. 14. What is the pathophysiologic process responsible for the autoimmune
disorder of hemolyticuremic syndrome (HUS)?:

ascending the urethra into the bladder
17. 17. What causes vesicoureteral reflux to occur in children?: the submucosal segment
of a child's ureter is short, making the anitreflux mechanism inefficient
