Chapter 19, Problem 22RQ

a.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The response of rodent nephron towards inulin.

Introduction: Excretion is the process of eliminating or expelling the waste material from the living cells. The waste matter in living organisms is carbon dioxide, water, urea, uric acid, ammonia, and many more.

b.

Summary Introduction

To sketch: The line on the given graph that represents the net reabsorption or secretion.

Introduction: The nephrons present in the kidneys are designed to maintain body fluid homeostasis. Homeostasis is the process of keeping body fluid volumes stable as well as maintaining the level of salts and minerals.

The renal handling of a novel drug is being studied. When the drug is present in the blood, it is filtered into the Bowman’s capsule and secreted via transport proteins in the renal tubules, but it is NOT reabsorbed. The lines on the following graph represent filtration, secretion and excretion rates of this drug at various plasma concentrations.  For the three lines shown (labeled A-C) identify which line represents filtration, which line represents secretion, and which line represents excretion  Explain how you determined this.
Draw a schematic diagram showing the flow of water and salts in the proximal tubule of the kidney. In this diagram, put the lumen on the left side of the diagram and the extracellular fluids on the right side of the diagram. Indicate where the lumen is, where the extracellular fluid is, where the apical portion of the cell is, and show the location of the proteins that are responsible for the movement of water and salts and glucose reabsorption in this area of the kidney
What are the unique features of Henle loops that contribute to countercurrent multiplication during urine production? Provide an explanation of how countercurrent multiplication is facilitated in nephrons, including all the factors that contribute to it.
