Focus Figure 25.1: Medullary Osmotic Gradient Part A - Key Players in Medullary Osmotic Gradient

1. The long nephron loops of the juxtamedullary nephrons are located in the renal medulla. 2. The long nephron loops create the medullary osmotic gradient and act as countercurrent multipliers. 3. The vasa recta preserve the medullary osmotic gradient and act as countercurrent exchangers. 4. The collecting ducts use the medullary osmotic gradient to concentrate urine.

Chapter 25 Matching Questions 21-25

1. Vasa recta: Play a role in urine concentration. 2. Efferent arterioles: May lead into meandering vessels or bundles of long straight vessels. 3. Glomerular capillaries : Fenestrated vessels that allow passage of all plasma elements but not blood cells. 4. Peritubular capillaries : Low pressure, porous vessels that reabsorb solutes and water from the tubule cells. 5. Afferent arterioles: High pressure vessel that forces fluid and solutes into the glomerular capsule.

Part G Through the tubuloglomerular feedback mechanism, how would an increase in filtrate NaCl concentration affect afferent arteriole diameter? Afferent arteriole diameter would increase. Afferent arteriole diameter would stay about the same. Afferent arteriole diameter would decrease.

Afferent arteriole diameter would decrease.

Why do you have to carefully monitor certain patients who are on "loop diuretics" to lower their blood pressure? They may excrete too much protein instead. Certain diuretics are not specific and in addition to getting rid of excess water, additional ions like potassium will be secreted. You do not want them to build up too much water in the renal pyramid. They are at an increased risk for a urinary tract infection. Submit

Which statement does NOT accurately describe the gross anatomy of the kidneys? The recess where blood vessels and nerves enter the kidney is called the hilum.
