Already Passed.
1. What is the functional unit of the kidney called: Nephron
2. The only surface inside the nephron where cells are covered with microvilli to
increase the reabsorptive surface area is called the: Proximal convoluted tubules
3. What part of the kidney controls renal blood flow, glomerular filtration, and
renin secretion: Juxtaglomerular apparatus (JGA)
4. The glomerular filtration rate is directly related to which factor: Perfusion pressure
in the glomerular capillaries
5. What effects do exercise and body position have on renal blood flow: They activate
renal sympathetic neurons and cause mild vasoconstriction

7. When renin is released, it is capable of which action: Formation of angiotensin I
8. What effect do natriuretic peptides have during heart failure when the heart
dilates: Inhibits renin and aldosterone
9. What is the direct action of atrial natriuretic hormone: Sodium excretion
