How does this help to explain why the pressure in the glomerular capillaries is higher than other capillaries?arrow_forward
- The opening indicated by the black arrow indicates a 'fenestra' or pore within the glomerular capillary endothelium. Which of the following is the approximate size of the largest molecule allowed to pass through this opening? Choose from the following: (A) 5 - 6 nm (B) 50 - 70 nm (C) 200 - 300 nm (D) 700 - 800 nmarrow_forwardThe main function of the transitional epithelium in the ureter is (a) not the same as that of the transitional epithelium in the bladder, (b) protection against kidney stones, (c) secretion of mucus, (d) resorption, (e) stretching.arrow_forwardWhy may a larger volume of fluid move across the glomerular membrane than across the membrane of other capillaries?arrow_forward
- Which of the following occurs if the afferent arteriole suddenly constricts? a) Net filtration processes would remain unchanged O b) Net filtration would decrease c) Net filtration would increase O d) Renal blood flow would increasearrow_forwardSelect the best answer or answers from the choices given: The glomerular capillaries differ from other capillary networks in the body because they (a) have a larger area of anastomosis, (b) are derived from and drain into arterioles, (c) are not made of endothelium, (d) are sites of filtrate formationarrow_forwardIdentify all of the following that are functions of the kidney: (a) maintain blood pH; (b) regulate blood ion concentrations; (c) regulate blood volume and blood pressure; (d) eliminate wastes, some hormones, and certain drugs from the blood; (e) release renin; (f) release erythropoietin; and (g) stimulate the final step in calcitriol formation.arrow_forward

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.)arrow_forwardThe primary purpose of the collecting system is to (a) transport urine from the bladder to the urethra. (b) selectively reabsorb sodium ions from tubular fluid. (c) transport urine from the renal pelvis to the ureters. (d) make final adjustments to the osmotic concentration and volume of urine.arrow_forward
