Electron microscopy of kidneys revealed tubules, which are lined by cuboidal epithelium. There are light and dark cells in the epithelium. Light cells have a few organelles. The cytoplasm forms folds. These cells provide the reabsorption of water from primary urine into the blood. Structure and function of dark cells resemble parietal cells of the stomach. What tubules are presented on the electronogram? a. Collecting renal tubules b. Proximal tubules c. Ascending tubules loop of Henle d. Distal tubules e. Descending tubules loop of Henle

Still considering the diagram, angiotensin II (Angll) may increase GFR by acting on which arteriole? Select a letter [ Select] Question 5 When MAP falls, the sympathetic nervous system is activated. Noradrenaline affects which arteriole during a sympathetic response? Select a letter [Select ]
Epithelial cells that reabsorb solutes are cuboidal, but epithelial cells involved in filtration are thin, squamous cells. The cuboidal cells contain more cytoplasm and organelles, especially mitochondria and rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), than the squamous cells. Why do the cuboidal cells of the kidney tubules need more mitochondria and RER?
Draw a schematic diagram showing the flow of water and salts in the proximal tubule of the kidney. In this diagram, put the lumen on the left side of the diagram and the extracellular fluids on the right side of the diagram. Indicate where the lumen is, where the extracellular fluid is, where the apical portion of the cell is, and show the location of the proteins that are responsible for the movement of water and salts and glucose reabsorption in this area of the kidney
Which of the following is matched correctly? Group of answer choices trigone = smooth muscle of urinary bladder renal pyramids = contain distal tubules incontinence = inability to voluntarily control urination transitional epithelium =responsible for peristalsis (ureter) Question 2 The collecting ducts pass into what part of the kidney?

The renal handling of a novel drug is being studied. When the drug is present in the blood, it is filtered into the Bowman’s capsule and secreted via transport proteins in the renal tubules, but it is NOT reabsorbed. The lines on the following graph represent filtration, secretion and excretion rates of this drug at various plasma concentrations. For the three lines shown (labeled A-C) identify which line represents filtration, which line represents secretion, and which line represents excretion Explain how you determined this.

Figure 41.5 Which of the following statements about the kidney is false? The renal pelvis drains into the ureter. The renal pyramids are in the medulla. The cortex covers the capsule. Nephrons are in the renal cortex.
Fatty tissue holds the kidneys in place. Extremely rapid weight loss may cause this tissue to shrink so that the kidneys slip from their normal position. On rare occasions, the slippage can put a kink in one or both ureters and block urine flow. Suggest what might then happen to the kidneys.
Although the kidneys are probably best known as filtration organs, tubular reabsorption (the second step of urine formation in a nephron) actually reclaims molecules that have already been filtered from the blood. Describe the tubular reabsorption process, including the structures and molecules involved, and explain why these molecules need to be reabsorbed. please help
