In normal healthy individuals, steroid hormones are partially reabsorbed rather than completely reabsorbed. Why is that? а. Steroids require aldosterone and ADH for their reabsorption b. Steroids require sodium co-transporters that are usually absent in normal healthy individuals с. Steroids diffuse back into the blood until the concentrations are equal d. Steroids have saturable reabsorption mechanisms

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
Plasma fluid filtered into Bowmans capsule flows directly into the ________. a. renal artery c. distal tubule b. proximal tubule d. loop of Henle
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 high salt concentration in the interstitial fluid of the kidney medulla? (a) active transport of sodium from the upper part of the ascending limb (b) diffusion of salt from the ascending limb of the loop of Henle (c) reabsorption of salt from various regions of Bowmans capsule (d) counterflow of fluid through the two limbs of the loop of Henle (e) diffusion of urea out of the collecting duct
Which of these conditions decreases extracellular fluid volume?a. constriction of afferent arteriolesb. increased ADH secretionc. decreased ANH secretiond. decreased aldosterone secretione. stimulation of sympathetic nerves to the kidneys
Diuretics are substances which increase urine production by the kidneys. a. Complete the flow chart to show how ethanol acts as a diuretic Ethanol prevents release of antidiuretic hormone by the gland Less antidiuretic hormone produced |ermeability to water of the part of the neparon called the Increases uine praductiOn b Explain why eating large amounts of glucose can lead to an increase in urine production, Hint- not all the glucose is reabsorbed into the blood.
Which correctly describes the mechanism of action of the loop diuretics? O They create a very hyperosmotic urine O They disrupt the concentration gradient in the renal medullary fluid O They disrupt the action of ADH on collecting duct epithelial cells O They directly block aldosterone from binding to its receptors O They lower blood pressure by promoting secretion of renin
If the clearance of sodium doubles in a normal person then the following is physiologically likely: A. Doubling of plasma [Na] B. Doubling of GFR OC. Doubling of amount of sodium in urine D. Doubling of urine volume OE. Doubling of urine osmolarity
Which of the following contribute to the >99% glucose absorption in the proximal tubule?a. Cellular absorption and paracellular secretion of sodiumb. Paracellular absorption of glucose against a concentration gradientc. Basolateral membrane transport of glucose against a concentration gradientd. Basolateral diffusion of glucose through the lipid bilayer
Which of the following is TRUE concerning renal handling of potassium? a. A high potassium meal will cause enhanced basolateral uptake via sodium-potassium pumps b. Most potassium reabsorption occurs at the distal tubules c. Aldosterone enhances potassium reabsorption at the proximal tubule d. Potassium is not filtered, so urinary excretion of potassium will only occur by stimulating potassium secretion e. Decreased extracellular potassium concentration increases aldosterone production and thereby reduces potassium secretion
