question
Which of the following materials is NOT reabsorbed in the nephron loop?
water
glucose
chloride ions
sodium ions
answer
glucose
Virtually all of the glucose in the filtrate is reabsorbed in the proximal convoluted tubule before reaching the nephron loop.
question
The reabsorption of sodium in the DCT is regulated primarily by __________.
aldosterone and ANP
aldosterone
parathyroid hormone
renin and angiotensin
answer
aldosterone and ANP
Aldosterone increases Na+ reabsorption, and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) inhibits Na+ reabsorption.
question
How are nutrient molecules such as glucose and amino acids reabsorbed through the apical surfaces of the tubule epithelia?
by osmosis
by secondary active transport
by primary active transport
by simple diffusion
answer
by secondary active transport
Glucose is reabsorbed via symport carrier proteins via secondary active transport with Na+.
question

glucose
amino acids and fatty acids
K+ and Na+ ions
blood cells and proteins
answer
blood cells and proteins
Proteins and blood cells are too large to pass through the filtration membrane between the blood and the glomerular capsule.
question
Which of the following is NOT a function of the kidneys?
to metabolize vitamin D to its active form
to carry out gluconeogenesis during prolonged fasting
to regulate body fluid by controlling excretion from sweat glands
to maintain the proper balance between water and salts and between acids and bases
answer
to regulate body fluid by controlling excretion from sweat glands
