TRue or false Glucose goes through reabsorption in the distal convoulted tubule of a nephron.  High blood pressure is both a cause and a symptom of renal failure.

For each of the following processes, list the structures in the urinary system where they occur Filtration: Secretion: Excretion: Reabsorption:

If the efferent arteriole dilates, what is the effect on the glomerular filtration rate? Decreased GFR Increase GFR No effect on the GFR

Changes in blood pressure ( MAP ) have the potential to alter glomerular filtration rate ( GFR ) by directly changing which of the following factors below ? glomerular capillary hydrostatic pressure Bowman's capsule hydrostatic pressure glomerular osmotic pressure Bowman's capsule osmotic pressure

The decreased renal excretion of sodium and water is caused by what substance?

The visceral layer of a renal capsule consists of unusual, branching epithelial cells called: O loops of Henle podocytes O pericytes filtration slits

Several pharmacological agents have been shown to lower the pressure of the filtrate inside the lumen of nephrons. What affect will this have?     a hydrostatic pressure of fluid in the Bowman’s capsule increases, GFR increases     b hydrostatic pressure of fluid in the Bowman’s capsule decreases, GFR decreases    c hydrostatic pressure of fluid in the Bowman’s capsule increases, GFR decreases    d hydrostatic pressure of fluid in the Bowman’s capsule decreases, GFR increases

True or false  Proteinuria and painful urination are symptoms of renal failure.

Renal filtration is the movement of water and solutes out of the ____ and into the _____. Group of answer choices afferent arteriole; glomerulus efferent arteriole; glomerulus glomerulus; Bowman’s capsule glomerulus; efferent arteriole

The kidneys help to regulate the hydrogen ion concentration of body fluids by altering the rate at which hydrogen ions are secreted. TRUE or FALSE
