nephron There are over 1 million nephrons per kidney.

The net filtration pressure (NFP) is the chief force pushing water and solutes out of the blood and across the filtration membrane. True or False

False- The net filtration pressure (NFP), responsible for filtrate formation, involves forces acting at the glomerular bed. Glomerular hydrostatic pressure (HPg), which is essentially glomerular blood pressure, is the chief force pushing water and solutes out of the blood and across the filtration membrane.

Arrange the following structures in the correct sequence in which urine passes through them to the external environment: (1) ureter, (2) renal pelvis, (3) calyx, (4) urinary bladder, (5) urethra.

3-calux, 2-renal pelvis, 1-ureter, 4-urinary bladder, 5-urethra The calyx is first and the urethra is last.

If the efferent arteriole constricts while the afferent arteriole remains unchanged, the glomerular filtration rate __________. cannot be determined does not change decreases increases

Increases: If the efferent arteriole constricts while the afferent arteriole remains unchanged, the glomerular filtration rate increases. This will increase glomerular hydrostatic pressure.

Which of the following statements about the urinary system is INCORRECT? -It produces renin, which helps regulate blood pressure. -It carries out the majority of gluconeogenesis in the body. -It metabolizes vitamin D to its active form. -It produces erythropoietin, which stimulates red blood cell formation.

It carries out the majority of gluconeogenesis in the body. -nope it does not

When the concentration of ADH increases, __________. -the specific gravity of the urine decreases -more urine is produced -less water is reabsorbed by the nephron and collecting duct -less urine is produced -more salt is secreted by the nephron

Less urine is produced when the concentration of ADH increases.

Micturition is __________. a sacral reflex in infants present only in males the secretion of acid the production of urine a mechanism for concentrating urine

Micturition is a sacral reflex in infants. It is also called urination. Between ages 2 and 3, descending circuits from the brain have matured enough to begin to override reflexive urination.

Nephrons

Which substance would NOT normally be expected in urine? protein chloride sodium nitrogenous waste water

Which process results in increased blood pressure in response to hormone release? countercurrent mechanism myogenic mechanism tubuloglomerular response renin-angiotensin-aldosterone mechanism adrenergic response

The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone mechanism results in increased blood pressure in response to hormone release.

In situations where there is an extreme change of blood pressure (e.g., mean arterial pressure of less than 80 mm Hg), extrinsic controls take precedence over intrinsic blood pressure controls. True or false

True
