Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The buffer systems in the human body are made up of a weak acid and its weak conjugate base. It prevents the changing of the pH of the solution. When astrong acid or base is added to the solution, the resulting weak base or weak acid neutralizes the pH of the solution. It helps in maintaining the acid-base homeostasis of the body.

1. 3 of the following are true of the Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System (RAAS) A. The JG cells are located at the distal collecting tubule B. The Juxtaglomerular cells (JG cells) are modified smooth muscles in the afferent arteriole C. The Macula densa detects osmolality of the filtrate D. The Macula densa is made up of tall columnar cells 2. 2 of the following are true of the RAAS responding to a decrease in Na in the filtrate A. Macula densa detects the decrease in osmolality B. JG cells are stimulated by Macula densa through tight junctions C. Aldosterone stimulates principal cells of collecting tubule to reabsorb water D. Aldosterone reabsorbs Na and by osmotic forces increase fluid in the extracellular compartment 3. 2 of the following are true of the loop of Henle A. Descending thick limb is also called the pars recta of the proximal tubule B. The function of the descending thick limb is similar to the distal convoluted tubule C. Cells of the descending thin limb are very…
