Renal Physiology — Flashcards

Angiotensin II acts directly at the _____ (location) to increase NaHCO3 reabsorption

The effects of ECF volume _____ on the Starling forces result in increased fractional reabsorption of isosmotic fluid in the proximal tubule

Juxtamedullary nephrons have _____ glomeruli (size) and thus higher GFR than superficial cortical nephrons

In the lumen of the collecting duct, _____ and H+ combine to form NH4+

Angiotensin II normally _____ the efferent arteriole of the kidney

_____ syndrome is a renal tubular defect that affects the Na+/K+/2Cl- cotransporter

In the _____ of the nephron, 50% of the filtered urea is reabsorbed by simple diffusion

The H2CO3 formed inside the cells of the PCT dissociates into _____ and HCO3-

The _____ DCT is always impermeable to water (permeability)

In the cells of the proximal tubule, the enzyme _____ metabolizes glutamine to glutamate and NH4+
