Which of the following does not contribute to the process of filtration? (a) active transport by epithelial cells lining renal tubules (b) large surface area for filtration (c) low permeability of glomerular capillaries (d) high hydrostatic blood pressure in glomerular capillaries (e) podocytes
Calculate net filtration pressure given the following values: glomerular hydrostatic pressure = 50 mm Hg, blood colloid osmotic pressure = 25 mm Hg, capsular hydrostatic pressure = 20 Hg.
Discuss the pressures of filtration indicating the hydrostatic and colloidal osmotic pressures responsible for moving substances in or out of the glomerulus. Name each pressure and write an equation that indicates the pressures affecting glomerular filtration.
Why is this statement false? Without the renal medullar osmotic gradient, you would not be able to raise the concentration of urine above 1200 mOsm
A patient comes to your medical practice with complaints of low urine output (not peeing). You use inulin to calculate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) using the following information: Plasma level (P – constant over 24 hours): 10 mg/mL inulin. Urine sample (U): 144 mg inulin/mL urine. Urine formation (V): 10 mL/min. Using the fromula GFR=V ✕ U/P, you calculate a GFR of ... A) 144mL/min.. B) 14400 mL/min. C) 144 min./mL. D) 144 g mannitol/min.
What is the effect of angiotensin II on the glomerular filtration rate? vasoconstricts the afferent arteriole, decreasing the GFR vasoconstricts the afferent arterioe. increasing the GFR vasodilates the afferent arteriole, decreasing the GFR vasodilates the afferent arteriole, increasing the GFR
Why does the glomerulus have a high-pressure capillary network? Explain.
Name the three layers of the wall of the glomerular capillaries. Indicate how those layers influence whether blood cells, ions, water, proteins and glucose are filtered at the glomerulus.
What type of gradient is being established in the medulla of the kidney?
What is the effect of atrial natriuretic peptide on the glomerular filtration rate? vasoconstricts the afferent arteriole, decreasing the GFR vasoconstricts the afferent arterioe. increasing the GFR vasodilates the afferent arteriole, decreasing the GFR vasodilates the afferent arteriole, increasing the GFR
Is this following statement correct? In the kidney, vasoconstriction of the afferent arteriole increases glomerular filtration rate, because hydrostatic pressure in the glomerular capillaries increases (much like putting your thumb over the end of a garden hose increases the pressure and causes the water to exit the hose with greater velocity and travel a greater distance).
What is the difference between the glomerular capillaries and the peritubular capillaries? How do these relate to afferent and efferent arterioles? Why do the efferent arterioles have oxygenated blood? (The answer isn’t “they are called arterioles, therefore they have oxygenated blood.)
