As the text noted, two-thirds of the water and solutes that the body reclaims by reabsorption in nephrons occurs in the proximal tubule. Proximal tubule cells have large numbers of mitochondria and demand a great deal of oxygen. Explain why.
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.
Figure 41.8 Loop diuretics are drugs sometimes used to treat hypertension. These drugs inhibit the reabsorption of Na+ and Cl- ions by the ascending limb of the loop of Henle. A side effect is that they increase urination. Why do you think this is the case?
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
Water and small solutes enter nephrons during ________. a. filtration b. reabsorption c. secretion d. both a and b
Which of the following is TRUE about how water is handled by che nephron? Vasopressin inserts pumps in the collecting duct membrane that move water against its concentration gradient. Water is actively reabsorbed from the proximal tubule, and Na+ follows down its diffusion gradient. Water is actively secreted into the descending loop of Henle. Water reaborption depends on activity of active transport mechanisms related to Na+ The permeability of the ascending limb of the loop of Henle is modified by vasopressin
Which of the following is incorrectly matched? PCT - facilitated diffusion of glucosedescending loop of Henle - sodium reabsorptioncollecting duct - water reabsorptionDCT - reabsorption of bicarbonate ionsglomerulus - high pressure filtration
In the presence of anti-diuretic hormone (ADH), which of the following does NOT occur? OAquaporins will be present ONLY in the apical membrane of the collecting duct ADH will bind to an ADH receptor, which is a metabotropic receptor O Adenylate cyclase will be activated, producing CAMP OWater flows down its concentration gradient, from high to low solute concentrations OAll of the above would occur
Renal aquaporins allow for: O A. Increased paracellular water movement OB. Regulated cellular water absorption in the proximal tubule O C. Regulated cellular water absorption in the Loop of Henle OD. Regulated cellular water absorption in the collecting duct OE. None of the above
Match correct function with regions of the nephron. Region of Nephron Function V Filtration of blood to make filtrate. Mainly selective tubular reabsorption of glucose, amino acids, Na then CI, H,0 follows by v osmosis. Reabsorption of bicarbonate. Also tubular secretion of NH, and H; tubular secretion of drugs (e.g. penicillin). v To create and maintain the concentration gradient across the medulla. v Impermeable to NaCl, permeable to H,0. Water leaves filtrate (in response to concentration of surrounding interstitial fluid) as it descends making the filtrate more concentrated. v Impermeable to H,0, Na is pumped out of the tubule, (CI follows) so filtrate becomes less concentrated as it ascends. H2O reabsorption depending on ADH. Tubular secretion of NH", K and H depending on need. Reabsorption or secretion of bicarbonate depending on need. Loop of Henle (descending limb) V Reabsorption of H2O depending on levels of ADH. Loop of Henle (descending limb) Loop of Henle (as a unit) Loop…
The kidneys help maintain acid-base balance byA. The secretion of H+ in the distal regions of the nephronB. The action of carbonic anhydrase within the apical membranesC. The action of carbonic anhydrase within the cytoplasm of the tubule cellsD. The buffering action of phosphates and ammonia in the urineE. All of the above means
Why would efferent arterioles are constricting more than they should cause some to urinate more than usual. efferent arteriole constriction decreases blood pressure in the glomerulus, which increases filtration rate efferent arteriole constriction increases blood pressure in the glomerulus, which increases filtration rate efferent arteriole constriction relaxes the muscle in the bladder that prevents urination efferent arteriole constriction increases blood pressure in the glomerulus, which decreases filtration rate
