URINARY CONNECT CASE STUDY 2023. Filtration is a __________ process that depends on a ____________ gradient.. - ANSWER passive; pressure. When systemic blood pressure decreases, the result is that the __________ arterioles change diameter by undergoing _________________. - ANSWER afferent; vasodilation. If both the glomerular and capsular hydrostatic pressures remain unchanged, an increase in the blood colloid osmotic pressure results in a(n) ________ in the net filtration pressure. - ANSWER decrease. Which of the following forces oppose glomerular filtration? - ANSWER capsular hydrostatic pressure (HPc) and blood colloid osmotic pressure (OPg). Glomerulosclerosis results in a ____________________ of the basement membrane. - ANSWER thickening. Proteinuria occurs when the filtration membrane becomes leaky, allowing proteins to cross. This impacts the blood colloid osmotic pressure by ____________________ the osmolarity gradient between the blood and filtrate, thereby ________________ the strength of this pressure. - ANSWER decreasing; reducing. An increase in the NFP would result in a(n) _______________ in the GFR. - ANSWER increase. Renin is released in response to ________________________ stimulation. - ANSWER sympathetic. Angiotensin II triggers the __________________________ of the intraglomerular mesangial cells which results in a(an) _______________________________ of the filtration surface area. - ANSWER contraction; decrease. ACE inhibitors are prescribed to control blood pressure. These drugs work by reducing _____________________. - ANSWER the conversion of angiotensin I to angiontensin II. Tubular reabsorption and tubular secretion differ in that __________________________. - ANSWER tubular secretion adds materials to the tubular filtrate while tubular reabsorption removes materials from the tubular filtrate. Which of the following substances utilizes paracellular transport in order to cross the basolateral membrane of the tubule cell during the process of reabsorption? - ANSWER potassium.
