Question
Chapter 48, Problem 13TYU
Summary Introduction
To develop: A hypothesis to explain why glucose is normally present in glomerular filtrate not in urine while in persons with diabetes mellitus have glucose in their urine as well as increased urine output.
Introduction: The kidney is an important organ of the excretory system and nephron is the basic structural unit of the kidney. As blood passes through the kidneys, it filters the nitrogenous waste to form urine. The processes include glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption, and tubular secretion. It maintains the homeostasis of the body.

ADH Secretion Water Levels in Blood Increases Decreases b. ADH Secretion Water Levels in Blood Increases Increases с. ADH Secretion Water Levels in Blood Decreases Decreases d. ADH Secretion Water Levels in Blood Decreases Increasesarrow_forwardThe renal handling of a novel drug is being studied. When the drug is present in the blood, it is filtered into the Bowman’s capsule and secreted via transport proteins in the renal tubules, but it is NOT reabsorbed. The lines on the following graph represent filtration, secretion and excretion rates of this drug at various plasma concentrations. For the three lines shown (labeled A-C) identify which line represents filtration, which line represents secretion, and which line represents excretion Explain how you determined this.arrow_forwardThe mammalian kidney contains an immense network of nephrons that functions to conserve water by producing urine that is hyperosmotic compared to other body fluids. Describe in detail how the transport epithelia of the nephron and collecting duct are able to use transport mechanisms to process the filtrate as it moves through the vessels and produce a hyperosmotic filtrate.arrow_forward

(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.

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.arrow_forwardDraw a schematic diagram showing the flow of water and salts in the proximal tubule of the kidney. In this diagram, put the lumen on the left side of the diagram and the extracellular fluids on the right side of the diagram. Indicate where the lumen is, where the extracellular fluid is, where the apical portion of the cell is, and show the location of the proteins that are responsible for the movement of water and salts and glucose reabsorption in this area of the kidneyarrow_forward
- Glucose molecules are fully reabsorbed in the proximal tubule that normally, zero amount of glucose cam be found in the urine. However, a patient's urinalysis report revealed that a significant amount of glucose is found in the patient's urine sample. Based on this information, what do you think is the underlying medical condition of the patient which resulted in this report? Based on the concepts you have learned from above, what do you think is the main explanation for the presence of glucose in the urine?arrow_forwardHow is the filtration that occurs in the glomerulus different from passive transport, active transport, or any form of membrane transport? 1. Filtration occurs between cells, not through them 2. Filtration only involves small substances, whereas membrane transport often deals with large substances 3. Filtration involves the movement of water, whereas passive transport doesn’t involve water movementarrow_forwardA 28-year-old man has a fasting serum glucose concentration of 140 mg/dL and a glomerular filtration rate of 125 ml/min.
