One mechanism the kidney uses to raise systemic blood pressure is to- Increase filtration into glomerular (Bowman's) capsule.- Decrease secretion of aldosterone.- Increase release of angiotensin II by the suprarenal glands.- Increase secretion of renin by the juxtaglomerular complex.- Decrease urinary albumin concentration.
The functions of the nephron include all of the following EXCEPT _______.- Glomerular secretion- Glomerular filtration- Tubular reabsorption- Tubular secretion
Ketoacidosis is usually a result of _______.- Vomiting- A decrease in food intake- An increase in food intake- Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus
The filtrate first passes from the glomerular capsule to the- Collecting duct.- Minor calyx.- Proximal convoluted tubule.- Nephron loop (loop of Henle).- Distal convoluted tubule.
Autoregulation of the rate of glomerular filtration has which of the following properties?- Depends on changes in the afferent arteriole- Depends on changes in the mesangial cells- Depends on changes in the efferent arteriole- All of the above- None of the above
The cavity of the kidney that receives urine from the calyces is called the- Renal cortex.- Renal papilla.- Renal pelvis.- Renal sinus.- Renal medulla.
Each of the following organs is part of the urinary system, except the- Urethra.- Rectum.- Ureter.- Kidney.- Urinary bladder.
The U-shaped segment of the nephron is the- Collecting loop.- Nephron loop (loop of Henle).- Proximal convoluted tubule.- Minor calyx.- Distal convoluted tubule.
The outermost layer of the kidney is the- Renal pelvis.- Major calyx.- Renal medulla.- Fibrous capsule.- Renal cortex.
Triangular or conical structures located in the renal medulla are called- Renal pelvises.- Nephrons.- Calyces.- Pyramids.- Renal columns.
The process of filtration occurs at- The glomerular (Bowman's) capsule.- The distal convoluted tubule.- The collecting duct.- The proximal convoluted tubule.- The nephron loop (loop of Henle).
Which of the following does NOT result in metabolic alkalosis?- Lowered body temperature- Hyperventilation- Decrease in food intake- Constipation
As the filtrate passes through the renal tubules, approximately what percentage is reabsorbed and returned to the circulation?- 1- 38- 63- 74- 99
Urine passes, in the order given, through which of the following structures?- Collecting duct, renal pelvis, urethra, bladder, ureter- Renal pelvis, urethra, bladder, ureter, collecting duct- Collecting duct, ureter, renal pelvis, urethra, bladder- Collecting duct, renal pelvis, ureter, bladder, urethra- Renal pelvis, collecting duct, bladder, ureter, urethra
Too much carbon dioxide in the blood can be the result of _______.- Hyperventilation- Emphysema- Anxiety- Fever
After fluid passes through the entire proximal tubule, the fluid will enter the ________.- Loop of Henle- Distal tubule- Bowman's capsule- Collecting duct- Connecting tubule
What are the conical sections of the renal medulla called?- Renal pyramids- Minor calyces- Major calyces- Renal cortex- Renal pelvis
Blood leaves the ________ and enters the glomerulus.- Peritubular capillary- Bowman's capsule- Afferent arteriole- Vasa recta- Efferent arteriole
Urine is carried to the urinary bladder by- The urethra.- The ureters.- The calyces.- Blood vessels.- Lymphatics.
Major calyces are- Basic functional layers of the kidney.- Conical structures that are located in the renal medulla.- The expanded ends of renal pyramids.- Expanded ends of nephrons.- Large tributaries of the renal pelvis.
