Nephron structure and function

The basement membrane of the glomerulus is partially permeable and allows small molecules like glucose to pass through.

• True
• False

In a healthy person, some glucose is reabsorbed into the bloodstream while majority is lost in the urine. 

• True
• False

Blood flows into the kidney along the:

• Renal Venule
• Renal Artery
• Glomerulus
• Hepatic Artery

The part of the nephron that primarily reabsorbs water is:

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

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

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

Glucose reabsorption occurs in the

• Proximal Tubule
• Distal Tubule
• Loop of Henle
• Glomerulus

The high pressure capillary network that pushes fluid out of the bloodstream is the:

• Proximal Tubule
• Distal Tubule
• Loop of Henle
• Glomerulus

During the process of filtration in the nephron, most of the water, glucose, and vitamins are:

• stored in the bladder
• excreted through the ureters
• reabsorbed into the blood
• concentrated in the urine
