Renal Physiology — Flashcards

The _____ ratio is used as a marker for water reabsorption along the nephron

The _____ and thick ascending limbs (loop of Henle) are impermeable to water

ACE inhibitors and ARBs primarily cause _____ of the efferent arteriole of the kidney

_____ is a neurotransmitter that may be secreted by cells of the PCT of the nephron

_____ levels of angiotensin II primarily causes vasoconstriction of the renal efferent arterioles

If Cx _____ GFR, there is net tubular reabsorption of X

A _____ shift in renal pressure natriuresis curve is caused by angiotensin II by increasing Na and water retention

_____ syndrome is a renal tubular defect that increases activity of the epithelial Na+ channel

_____ clearance can be used to calculate GFR because it is freely filtered and is not reabsorbed or secreted

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