Quiz zum Vortrag
Which of the following is the main mechanism of tubular reabsorption of water through water channels?
- In the direction of increasing osmotic pressure
- In the direction of decreasing osmotic pressure
- From high to low hydrostatic pressure
- From low to high hydrostatic pressure
- Against the flow of electrolytes
Which of the following statements about inulin in the proximal convoluted tubule is INCORRECT?
- It is secreted.
- The filtered load equals the excretion rate.
- It is freely filtered.
- It is not reabsorbed.
- Inulin concentration increases along the tubule.
Which of the following locations has the highest hydrostatic pressure under physiologic conditions?
- Afferent arteriole
- Efferent arteriole
- Proximal convoluted tubule
- Glomerulus capillaries
- Bowmans space
Why is inulin a more accurate measure of GFR than creatinine?
- Unlike creatinine, it is not secreted.
- Inulin concentration is proportional to skeletal muscle mass.
- Inulin is completely secreted.
- Creatinine is completely reabsorbed.
- It is synthesized by the kidney.
Which of the following best explains the high oncotic pressure in the peritubular capillaries?
- Blood proteins are not freely filtered.
- Albumin is actively reabsorbed.
- Water is reabsorbed in the collecting ducts.
- Sodium is actively reabsorbed in the proximal convoluted tubule.
- Bicarbonate is primarily reabsorbed in the proximal convoluted tubule.
Which of the following pressure changes increases glomerular filtration?
- Increased hydrostatic pressure in the afferent arteriole.
- Increased oncotic pressure in the afferent arteriole.
- Decreased oncotic pressure in Bowman's space.
- Increased hydrostatic pressure in Bowman’s space.
- None of the options provided increases the glomerular filtration.
