You scored 100% by answering 5 out of 5 questions correctly.
1 There are approximately __________ nephrons in a healthy human kidney.
You correctly answered: 1 ×610
2 Which of the following lists the anatomical structures in the correct order as they are
encountered by the blood itself during the process of filtration?
You correctly answered: afferent arteriole, glomerular capillary, efferent arteriole.
3 Bowman's capsule is connected to the beginning of the
You correctly answered: proximal convoluted tubule.
4 The functional unit of the kidney is the
You correctly answered: nephron.
5 During the process of renal reabsorption, fluid and solutes move from the
You correctly answered: renal tubule into the peritubular capillaries.
Experiment Results
Predict Questions
1 Predict Question 1: What will happen to the glomerular capillary pressure and filtration rate
if you decrease the radius of the afferent arteriole?
Your answer: Both pressure and filtration rate will decrease.
2 Predict Question 2: What will happen to the glomerular capillary pressure and filtration rate
if you increase the radius of the afferent arteriole?
Your answer: Both pressure and filtration rate will increase.
