What structure in the kidneys filters the blood?
Ureters
Nephrons
Bladder
Urethra
Where does FILTRATION take place in the nephron?
Glomerulus
Bowman's Capsule
PCT
Collecting Duct
This structure is responsible for almost 70% of the reabsorption that takes place in the nephron
PCT
DCT
Loop of Henle
Collecting Duct
Which of the following is reabsorbed in the PCT? (mark all that apply)
Wastes
Ammonia
Amino Acids
Water
Glucose
What is A correct order of the steps of function within the nephron?
Secretion, Reabsorption, Filtration
Reabsorption, Secretion, Filtration
Filtration, Reabsorption, Secretion
Secretion, Filtration, Reabsorption
What 2 substances are not normally filtered out from the blood during the initial filtration?
Blood Cells
Proteins
Glucose
water
During the journey along the nephron, most of the water, glucose, and vitamins are:
stored in the bladder
excreted through the ureters
reabsorbed back into the blood
concentrated in the urine
Which part of the renal capsule is a network of capillaries?
Bowman's Capsule
Glomerulus
Afferent arteriole
Peritubular Capillaries
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
more water to be reabsorbed back into the blood from the kidney tubules
When less ADH is released
When more ADH is released
When more urea is released
When less urea is released
regulates sodium and potassium levels
adrenaline
aldosterone
cortisol
parathyroid hormone
decreases blood calcium levels
aldosterone
calcitonin
parathyroid hormone
prolactin
lowers blood sugar level
calcitonin
glucagon
insulin
melatonin
increases blood calcium levels
calcitonin
epinephrine
parathyroid hormone
thyroxine
The pancreas produces _____ when your blood sugar level is high.
Thyroxin
Melatonin
Glucagon
Insulin
Which hormones are secreted from the pancreas?
glucagon & leptin
glucagon & melatonin
thyroxin & insulin
insulin & glucagon
What is glucagon's major role in the body?
to raise blood sugar
to lower blood sugar
to increase the rate of cellular respiration
to convert glucose into gycogen
Leptin is secreted by......
cells in the adipose tissue
cells in the hypothalamus
cells in the pancreas
cells in the thyroid
Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding the regulation of blood glucose levels?
The hypothalamus monitors blood glucose levels
The beta (β) cells in the pancreatic islets of Langerhans monitor blood glucose levels
Abnormally high levels or concentrations of blood glucose is called hypoglycemia
Abnormally low levels or concentrations of blood glucose is called hyperglycemia
What is the correct order for aerobic cellular respiration?
glycolysis-->ETC--> Krebs Cycle
ETC-->glycolysis-->Krebs Cycle
glycolysis-->Krebs Cycle-->ETC
Krebs Cycle-->glycolysis-->ETC
