Nephron

Multiple Select

Which 3 molecules compose the glomerular filtrate

• Salt

• Proteins

• Glucose

• Water

Multiple Select

What two substances are not found in the glomerular filtrate?

• Water

• Proteins

• Glucose

• Red blood cells

Multiple Choice

The proximal convoluted tubule in the nephron aids in:

• Reabsorption
• Secretion
• Filtration
• Urination

Multiple Choice

The "salty" region of the kidney.

• Cortex

• Medulla

• Renal pelvis

• Hilum

Multiple Choice

The area of the nephron impermeable to water is the....

• Descending limb of the L of H

• Ascending limb of the L of H

• Proximal tubule

• Distal tubule

Multiple Choice

The part of the nephron that primarily reabsorbs Na+ ions is:

• Ascending Loop of Henle 
• Descending Loop of Henle
• Bowman's Capsule

Multiple Choice

As glomerular filtrate moves through the ascending loop of Henle, the filtrate becomes more dilute: why?

• The ascending loop of Henle is permeable to water and ions

• The ascending loop of Henle is permeable to ions but impermeable to water

• The ascending loop of Henle is impermeable to water and ions

• The ascending loop of Henle is permeable to water but not to ions

Multiple Choice

Recall where in the nephron reabsorption of amino acids occurs.

• Proximal convoluted tubule

• Distal convoluted tubule

• Loop of Henle

• Ureter

Multiple Choice

Recall where in the nephron reabsorption of glucose occurs.

• Loop on Henle

• Bowman's capsule

• Proximal convoluted tubule

• Distal convoluted tubule

Multiple Choice

Identify Letter A

• Bowman's Capsule
• Afferent Arteriole
• Efferent Arteriole
• Glomerulus

Multiple Choice

Identify Letter H

• Renal Artery
• Renal Vein
• Descending Loop of Henle
• Proximal Convoluted Tubule

Multiple Choice

Anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) is released by which gland of the endocrine system

• Thyroid

• (Posterior) Pituitary

• Ovaries

• Adrenal

Multiple Choice

Anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) affects the permeability of which section of the nephron tubules

• Proximal (first) convoluted/coiled tubual

• Loop of Henle

• Distal (second) convoluted/coiled tubual

• Collecting duct

Multiple Choice

If you are dehydrated (low water potential in the blood), the body must conserve water. To do so, the brain triggers the pituitary gland to ...

• release MORE ADH, making the collecting duct MORE permeable

• release LESS ADH, making the collecting duct LESS permeable

• release MORE ADH, making the collecting duct LESS permeable

• release LESS ADH, making the collecting duct MORE permeable

Multiple Choice

If you are over-hydrated (high water potential in the blood), the body must excrete excess water. To do so, the brain triggers the pituitary gland to ...

• release MORE ADH, making the collecting duct MORE permeable

• release LESS ADH, making the collecting duct LESS permeable

• release MORE ADH, making the collecting duct LESS permeable

• release LESS ADH, making the collecting duct MORE permeable
