Renal Physiology — Flashcards

Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus is characterized by _____ or elevated levels of ADH

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

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

Prostaglandins _____ and I2 cause vaso-dilation of both afferent and efferent arterioles in the kidney

An _____ in the filtration fraction is associated with a decrease in the Renal Plasma Flow (RPF).

Hint: increase/decrease

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

Prostaglandins act via a _____ mechanism to vaso-dilate the afferent arterioles

Glucose in the cells of the PCT enter the peritubular capillary blood through _____ and GLUT2 transporters

In the _____ limb (loop of Henle), osmolarity of the tubular fluid decreases

The _____ cells of the late distal tubule and collecting duct reabsorb K+
