Solutions
the filtrate flows along the length of the nephron, which is a tubular structure lined by a single layer of
specialized cells and surrounded by _____ ANS capillaries (particular and vasa recta)
reabsorption is defined as ANS the process of moving substances (eg glucose) in the filtrate from the
lumen of the tubule back into the blood
The granular cells ANS secrete renin
the renal corpuscle is the blood filtering component of the nephron. It consists of the _____-a tuft of
capillaries, and glomerular capsule also known as ______ ANS glomerulus, Bowman's capsule
Which statement is true in regards to the granular cells? ANS can be found in the wall of smooth muscle of
the arterioles that deliver blood to the glomerulus
Filtration can be defined as ANS the movement of fluid from blood into the lumen of the nephron
secretion is defined as ANS the process that selectively removes molecules from the blood and adds them
to the filtrate in the tubule lumen
Most of the filtrate that enter the nephron is _____ ANS reabsorbed
The macula densa cells ANS is a collection of specialized epithelial cells that can measure NaCl in the
distal convoluted tubule.
The epithelium around the glomerular capillaries is modified into ANS podocytes
the podocytes surround the capillary leaving slits through which _____ takes place ANS filtration
the nephron is the ANS functional unit of the kidney
, the filtrate flows along the length of the nephron, which is a tubular structure lined by a ______ layer of
specialized cells (epithelial cells) and surrounded by capillaries ANS single
A lot of water, salt, and other substances are _____ at the proximal tubule from the filtrate into the blood ANS
reabsorbed
When blood pressure increases, the following will happen to glomerular filtration rate ANS it will go up
because of increased hydrostatic pressure caused by high blood pressure
Where is glucose reabsorbed in the nephron? ANS proximal tubule
the typical pattern for molecules absorbed by Na+ dependent transport (eg glucose) involves this: an apical
______ ANS symport protein (aka cotransporter)
In a normal kidney, which of the following conditions would cause an increase in the glomerular filtration rate
(GFR)? ANS dilation of the afferent arteriole
Reabsorption of water, salt and other substances are from the nephron is an _____ process ANS active
a person with cirrhosis of the liver has lower than normal levels of plasma proteins. The resulting decrease in
plasma protein concentration would cause ANS an increase in GFR
Waste products are _____ from the blood into he nephron by active transport, and definitive urine is ______
via the bladder and urinary opening (peeing) ANS secreted; excreted
The primary function of the proximal tubule is ANS reabsorption of ions, organic molecules, and water
in normal kidneys, blood cells and plasma proteins are ANS not filtered
most of the water reabsorbed in the _____; fine-tuning of water reabsorption occurs in the ______ ANS
proximal tubule; collecting duct
