albuminuria

A patient enters a hospital after a motorcycle accident. He complains of mid-back pain. X-rays reveal both rib and pelvic fractures. His emergency room examination includes urinalysis. Which of the following findings from the urinalysis would most likely suggest trauma to the kidneys from the accident but not the urinary bladder

tubular fluid

In the nephron, the fluid that immediately precedes urine is known as

the countercurrent multiplier system

Loop diuretics reduce body water content by acting on

the elimination of urine

Micturition is another term for

urea

This byproduct of protein catabolism constitutes approximately one-half of all nitrogenous waste

appearance of that solute in the urine

Total saturation of protein transporters for a given solute in the renal tubules would result in

urochrome

decreased urine volume

Which of the following is a direct result of antidiuretic hormone

collecting duct

Which of the following is not an organ of the urinary system

skeletal muscle

Which of the following is not found in the ureter

vasoconstriction of the afferent arteriole

Which of the following would reduce the glomerular filtration rate

segmental a. - interlobular a. - arcuate a. - interlobular a.

Which of these correctly traces blood flow from the renal artery into the renal cortex

interlobular v. - arcuate v. - interlobar v. - renal v.

Which of these correctly traces blood flow from the renal cortex to the renal vein

podocytes

Which of these form the inner layer of the glomerular capsule and wrap around the capillaries of the glomerulus

norepinephrine

Which of these induces renin secretion, constricts afferent arterioles, and reduces GFR and urine volume

the cardiovascular system

Which organ system does not excrete waste

collecting duct

Which renal structure is responsible for producing hypertonic urine by reabsorbing water while allowing metabolic waste and NaCl to pass through

insulin and creatinine

Which two substances are most useful for determining a patient's glomerular filtration rate

it is secreted by the renal tubules

Creatinine has a renal clearanceof 140mL/min due to the fact that

the renal corpuscle

Glucose and amino acids are reabsorbed from the glomerular filtrate by

20 mm Hg out

Assuming all other values are normal, calculate the net filtration pressure in a patient with a drop in capsular hydrostatic pressure to 8 mmHg
