please help me, I have an exam tomorrow, I do not know if my answer is correct, could you please give me the answer to this so I can study with it.
Don't explain, I just want the correct choise
Which of the following is NOT a function of the kidneys
The cells lining the nephron component marked by the black asterisk 1. bind the 'parathyroid hormone' to increase the reabsorption of calcium ions from the filtrate into peritubular capillary blood 2. Function to regulate pH of the blood by secreting bicarbonate ions and reabsorbing hydrogen ions 3. bind the hormone 'aldosterone' to increase sodium reabsorption from the filtrate (with passive reabsorption of water) Choose from the following: (A) 1 (B) 2 (C) 3 (D) 1 and 2 (E) 2 and 3 (F) 1, 2, and 3
1 Name three hormones involved in controlling the level of glucose in the blood and state the effect of each on the level of glucose. 100 Figure 2 shows the relative concentrations of three substances in the filtrate as it passes along the nephron. (NB the scale is not linear.) urea 20 2 Urea is a waste product of the body that is removed by the kidneys. The quantity of urea in the filtrate entering the nephron does not change significantly as the filtrate passes along the nephron. Explain why the level of urea shown in Figure 2 rises considerably as the filtrate passes along the nephron. 3 Suggest the name of substance A and explain the 5.0 1.0 Substance A 0.2- 0.05 reasons for your answer. 4 Suggest the name of substance B and explain the Substance reasons for your answer. 0.01 5 One symptom of diabetes is dehydration.

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…
Please explain this in the most simple way. Explain the kidney's role in water conservation. How much water is reabsorbed (by following other reabsorbed substances) by osmosis? How much water does the nephron loop and collecting duct have to be "tricked" into reabsorbing? How exactly does that work? How do hormones control this process? What effect does alcohol have?
e The excretory system regulates the volume and composition of body fluids by removing wastes and returning useful substances to the body. Some of the characteristics of the excretory organs are given below. 1. Carries urine to the bladder 2. Stores urine 3. Eliminates urine from the body 4. Composed of nephrons Put the numbers of the above characteristics in order, so they correspond to the urinary bladder, the ureters, the kidneys, and the urethra. (Your answer should look like 1234, but that isn't the right order.) Answer: Next page OF
Bob is urinating strange. Something is wrong with the Na+-K+ ATPase pumps on the basolateral membranes of the cells lining his proximal tubule. What is going on with his kidneys? a. Struggling to re-absorb sugarsb. Struggling to produce aquaporinsc. Struggling with filtrationd. Struggling to re-absorb proteins
choice all that applies. Ideally, increased osmotic pressure in the plasma will result to:a. increased arterial hydrostatic pressure c. increased water reabsorption in the tubulesb. increased glomerular filtration rate d. increase in interstitial colloid osmotic pressure e. none of the above
