Question 5Why is inulin a good substance to measure the glomerular filtration rate?O Because it is not produced or metabolized by the body, nor secreted or reabsorbed by the kidneys.O Because it is reabsorbed at the same rate of 125 mL/min as it is secreted.O Because the amount secreted accounts for the same renal fraction that is filtered.O Because of its low molecular weight only the amount secreted will be excreted for urination.Question 6If you were in respiratory alkalosis, how you would want your kidneys to compensate?O Increase reabsorption of HCO3-.O Decrease reabsorption of HCO3-.O Decrease clearance of HCO3-.O Increase secretion of CO2.

In the condition renal artery stenosis, the renal arteries narrow and become hardened. a How would this affect the amount of blood flowing to the kidney? How would it affect the glomerular filtration rate? Why?
Urine dilution by the loop of Henle is dependent on the length of the loop, being more diluted, the longer the loop. True or false
Fred was diagnosed 6 months ago with liver cancer. His liver is no longer able to make the necessary amount of proteins needed by the body. What effect, if any, would this have on the net glomerular filtration rate? (Hint, decide which of the 3 forces contributing to the net filtration rate is affected. Then adjust numbers in the equation to determine if there is an increase, decrease, or no change to the net filtration rate). Group of answer choices A) Blood colloid osmotic pressure would be decreased, increasing the net glomerular filtration rate. B) Blood colloid osmotic pressure would be decreased, decreasing the net glomerular filtration rate. C) Capsular hydrostatic pressure would be decreased, increasing the net glomerular filtration rate. D) Capsular hydrostatic pressure would be decreased, decreasing the net glomerular filtration rate. E) There would be no effect on the net glomerular filtration rate.
Which of the following regarding diuretics is false? Diuretics reduce the movement of water out of the filtrate Diuretics reduce ECF fluid volumes Use of diuretics results in increased urine volumes Diuretics increase the placement of aquaporins
From what you have learned at this point about the nephron, it should now be obvious that the glomerular filtrate is not the same as the urine that is eventually formed. It is also important to note that many processes that glomerular filtrate goes through will vary depending on the state of the body and its need to maintain, among others, fluid or electrolyte balance. Make a concept map of the diluting and concentrating mechanisms of the kidney
Sodium balance is controlled by which of the ff processes?
If blood pressure is high, the afferent arteriole will constrict. What is the effect on the glomerular filtration rate? Decreased GFR Increased GFR No effect on the GFR
If the efferent arteriole dilates, what is the effect on the glomerular filtration rate? Decreased GFR Increase GFR No effect on the GFR
