Kidney Quiz

What C-shaped structure in the nephron surrounds the glomerulus?

• Bowman's capsule
• bladder
• pelvis
• tubule

During the process of ultrafiltration, water glucose and sodium

• do not pass through the glomerulus walls
• pass from the p.c.t into the blood
• move through the basement membrane
• enter the collecting duct

Urine is carried from each kidney to the bladder a tube called a

• Ureter
• Urethra
• Tubule
• Pelvis

The actual filter in the nephron is

• the capillary wall
• the basement membrane
• the podocytes
• the Bowman's capsule

The net filtration force in the nephron is calculated from

•  Ψ_pressure + Ψ_solute
•  Ψ_pressure - Ψ_solute
•  Ψ_plasma + Ψ_filtrate
•  Ψ_pressure - Ψ_filtrate

Reabsorption of ALL glucose takes place from the

• proximal convoluted tubule
• loop of Henle
• distal convoluted tubule
• collecting duct

Which process moves water from the pct into the capillaries of the vasa recta?

• filtration

• active transport

• osmosis

• facilitated diffusion

The cells in walls of the pct have

• microvilli

• many mitochondria

• basal invaginations

• all of these adaptations

Glucose is reabsorbed from the proximal convoluted tubule by

• osmosis

• active transport

• pinocytosis

Fluid found inside the Bowman's capsule is called?
