Glucose acts as a diuretic A) By inhibiting the release of antidiuretic hormone B) By inhibiting sodium ion reabsorption C) By inhibiting sodium ion movement in the loop of Henle D) By carrying water out of the glomerulus E) By pure serum dilution

Regarding the glomerulus: A) Intracapsular pressure and colloid osmotic pressure act to hold serum in the glomerulus B) Only glomerular capillary pressure and net hydrostatic pressure push serum out of the glomerulus and intracapsular pressure and colloid osmotic pressure act to hold serum in the glomerulus C) Glomerular capillary pressure and net hydrostatic pressure push serum out of the glomerulus D) All of these answers are correct E) The net filtration pressure is normally 10mmHg

Increased concentrations of aldosterone lead to ... a) Increased reabsorption of Na + b) Decreased blood volume c) Increased permeability to water in distal tubules d) Decreased reabsorption of Cl-

One type of diuretic given to people with high blood pressure, renal disease and congestive heart failure are thiazide-type diuretics. These drugs inhibit sodium ion reabsorption by inhibiting the transport in the ascending limb of the loop of Henle. A) What does it mean to inhibit the transport of sodium ions in the loop of Henle? B) Explain how this inhibition of sodium ions in the loop of Henle could help increase urine production.
