Textbook Question
Chapter 36, Problem 1TS
High blood pressure often is accompanied by kidney damage. In some people, the kidney is subsequent to the high blood pressure, but in others the kidney damage is the cause of the high blood pressure. Explain how a bow-salt would enableyou to determine whether the high blood pressure the key damage came first.

However, one of the exceptions is the two capillary beds of the kidneys located in series. Blood flow occurs as follows: afferent arteriole- glomerulus- efferent arteriole - the peritubular capillaries. How does this series of blood flow benefit the kidneys and homeostasis?arrow_forward

Assume that the person is able to collect allof the tracer in their urine (and therefore measure the amount that has come out of the body), as wellas the concentration in the blood, as a function of time (see table below).c is the value of V that you determined equal to the blood volume of the person?

- You and your study partner want to draw the pathway that controls the reabsorption of sodium ion when blood pressure falls. Which of the following is the correct sequence of events? 1. Aldosterone is released. 2. Kidney tubules reabsorb Na+. 3. Renin is released. 4. Juxtaglomerular apparatus recognizes a drop in blood pressure. 5. Angiotensin II is produced. a. 1, 3, 5, 2, 4 b. 4, 2, 3, 1, 5 c. 4, 3, 5, 1, 2 d. 2, 4, 3, 1, 5arrow_forwardMany blood pressure medications block the reabsorption of water in the collecting ducts. How would this affect using output and concentration.arrow_forwardUnder circumstances of having low blood pressure , how does the sympathetic nervous system decrease glomerular filtration rate ? stimulates constriction of the efferent arteriole only stimulates relaxation of the mesangial cells stimulates secretion of erythropoietin stimulates constriction of both the afferent and efferent arteriolesarrow_forward
