UTA 5315 Exam 5 Renal and Repro
2024/2025 Exam Questions with 100%
Correct Answers | Latest Update
Inversly - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔phosphorus and calcium are _______ related
Decreases, increases - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Calcium __________ in renal
failure, so phosphorus ______________
Nephron - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Functions: filtration, reabsorption, secretion
glomerular filtration - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The first step in urine formation in
which substances in blood pass through the filtration membrane and the
filtrate enters the proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron.
Glomerular filtration rate GFR - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔amount of filtrate formed in
all the renal corpuscles of both kidneys each minute; filtration of plasma per
unit of time; directly related to the perfusion pressure in the glomerular
capillaries; filtrate enters proximal tubule @ 125ml/min

,proximal convoluted tubule - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔first section of the renal tubule
that the blood flows through; Reabsorbs all the glucose and reabsorbs
amino acids, most of the HCO3, a, Cl, phosphate, K, H20; If serum glucose
is >180 mg/dL, the renal threshold for glucose is exceeded and results in
glucosuria and damage associated with DM; When stimulated by the
parathyroid hormone, this tubule excretes phosphate; The site of action for
angiotensin II, which stimulates Na, H20, and Bicarb reabsorption
Descending loop of Henle - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔section of nephron tubing that
extends from proximal tubule; impermeable to Na, passively reabsorbs
water and concentrates urine
ascending loop of henle - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔section of nephron tubing that
extends from descending loop of henle; actively reabsorbs Na, K, Cl;
Induces the reabsorption of magnesium and Ca and is IMPEREABLE to
water -> making the urine more dilute
distal convoluted tubule - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Between the descending loop of
Henle and the collecting duct; Selective reabsorption and secretion occur
here, actively reabsorbs Na; Impermeable to water, making urine more
dilute; Parathyroid hormone increases Ca reabsorption here

, Collecting tubule - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Extends from the distal convoluted
tubule and connects with the renal pyramids; Reabsorbs Na in exchange
for K and H+; this process is regulated by the hormone aldosterone and is
the site of action for Antidiuretic hormone as well
Juxtaglomerular cells - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔part of Juxtaglomerular apparatus
(JGA) that is a collection of cells that monitor renal pressure and help to
maintain normal GFR through the release of RENIN
When renal perfusion is decreased these cells release renin got help
increase GFR; end result of renin is the release of angiotensin II which
constricts the efferent arteriole and thus increases the pressure to the
glomerulus
Macula Densa - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔part of JGA that is a group of epithelial
cells located in the distal convoluted tubule that are in close contact with
afferent and efferent arterioles
helps regulate GFR
