Correct Answer: The glomerulus filters the blood while the tubule reabsorbs
needed nutrients
Verified Explana on:
The glomerulus acts as the primary site for filtra on of the blood, while the

### 2. Excess accumula on of fluid within the inters al compartment is
characteris c of which of the following fluid imbalances?
- Dehydra on
- Water intoxica on
- Edema
Correct Answer: Edema
Verified Explana on:
Edema is defined as the pathological accumula on of fluid in the inters al space,
resul ng from imbalances in hydrosta c, onco c, or permeability dynamics.
, ### 3. Each of the following statements are true regarding control over the GFR
except:
- The kidney can maintain a constant GFR despite varia ons in the arterial blood
pressure of the rest of the body.
- The sympathe c nervous system can supersede the renal autoregulatory system.
- The RAA responds when blood pressure rises above normal limits.
- The RAA responds when blood pressure drops below normal limits.
Correct Answer: The RAA responds when blood pressure rises above normal
limits.
Verified Explana on:
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone (RAA) system is ac vated in response to
decreased blood pressure, not increased. Its primary func on is to restore
perfusion pressure by promo ng vasoconstric on and sodium/water
reabsorp on.
