During urine fromation in the kidneys, which of these processes involves returning needed substances in the filtrate back to the blood?

Glomerular filtration

Tubular reabsorption

Tubular secretion

Which urine formation process involves the movement of substances from the blood of the peritubular capillaries into the filtrate of the renal tubules?

Glomerular filtration

Tubular reabsorption

Tubular secretion

A person produces and average of 180 liters of filtrate a day from the blood as filtration occurs at the glomerulus, yet his urine volume is only 0.6-2.5 liters. What has happened to the rest of the filtrate?

It has been sent to the digestive tract.

It has been reabsorbed from the renal tubules into the blood of the peritubular capillareis and vasa recta before entering the collecting ducts

It has been reabsorbed into the blood form the glomerular capsule to the glomerulus

It is held indefinitely in the urinary bladder

Which hormone fuctions at the kidneys to regulate na+ and K+ levels?

Antidiuretic hormone

Thyroxine

Parathyroid hormone

Aldosterone

Which of the following pressures does not affect the filtration rate of blood in the kidney?

Glomerular hydrostatic pressure

Glomerular osmotic pressure

Interstitial osmotic pressure

Capsular hydrostatic pressue

Which tube transports urine form the nephron to the minor calyx of the renal pelvis?

The movement of urine through the ureters and urethra is due to

Gravity

Osmotic pressure

Hydrostatic pressure

Peristalsis

In males, which of these is an organ of both the reproductive and urinary systems?

Urinary bladder

Ureter

Urethra

Prostate

Each kidney has about 1 million microscopic filtering units called?

Renal papillae

Nephrons

Logules

Seminiferous tubules

The levels of water and electrolytes in the body

Remain relatively stable at all times

Fluctuate greatly throughout the day

The two major factors that influence the movement of water and electrolytes from one fluid compartment to another are

Peristalsis and filtration

Atmospheric and hydrostatic pressures

Gravity and filtration

Hydrostatic and osmotic pressures

If a person's daily total water intake is 2500ml, what would most likely be his daily total water output if he is in proper water balance?

2500 ml

2000 ml

3000 ml

All of the above

How does ADH affect the kidneys?

It causes the distal tubules and collecting ducts to remain impermeable to twater, and less water is reabsorbed: therfore, the urine volume increases

It causes the distal tubules and collecting ducts to become permeable to water and more water is reabsorbed: therfore, the urine volume decreases

It increase the glomerular filtration rate

It decreases the glomerular filtration rate

Strong base is converted to weak acid

Strong acid is converted to weak acid

Glomerulus

Efferent arterioles

Glomarular capsule

Proximal convoluted tubule

Distal convoluted tubule

Collecting duct

Acid-base balance in the body is maintained by

Acid-base buffer system

Respiratory excretion of carbone dioxide

Renal excretion of hydrogen ions

All of the above
