What would happen to your blood volume if plasma proteins were filtered into the kidney tubules at the glomerulus, instead of remaining in the blood, as they usually do? Why does this happen?

What is the name of the capillary bed in the kidneys that makes it possible to form concentrated urine?

From the previous question, In which section of the kidney tubules does this chloride movement occur? Is that movement passive or active?

Of the following solutes, which ones are least likely to be found in the urine of a healthy person: erythrocytes, glucose, sodium ions, and/or hydrogen ions? Explain why you normally wouldn’t expect to find this (these) solute(s) in the urine.

in a healthy adult which of the following will pass through the filtration membrane and become part of the filtrate? choose all that apply: glucose, proteins, water, amino acids.

In the condition renal artery stenosis, the renal arteries narrow and become hardened. a How would this affect the amount of blood flowing to the kidney? How would it affect the glomerular filtration rate? Why?

Sodium-Potassium Pumps (N+/K+ ATPase) are fundamental to your body’s physiological function. What is the connection/importance of this phenomenon in the urinary system with examples?

Fred was diagnosed 6 months ago with liver cancer.  His liver is no longer able to make the necessary amount of proteins needed by the body.  What effect, if any, would this have on the net glomerular filtration rate? (Hint, decide which of the 3 forces contributing to the net filtration rate is affected.  Then adjust numbers in the equation to determine if there is an increase, decrease, or no change to the net filtration rate).   Group of answer choices A) Blood colloid osmotic pressure would be decreased, increasing the net glomerular filtration rate. B) Blood colloid osmotic pressure would be decreased, decreasing the net glomerular filtration rate. C) Capsular hydrostatic pressure would be decreased, increasing the net glomerular filtration rate. D) Capsular hydrostatic pressure would be decreased, decreasing the net glomerular filtration rate. E) There would be no effect on the net glomerular filtration rate.

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.)

Why do marine fish and terrestrial vertebrates produce relatively small urine volumes?
