Renal Physiology — Flashcards

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

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

PTH acts on the kidney to increase renal _____ reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule

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

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

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

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

The _____ and thick ascending limbs (loop of Henle) are permeable to Na+

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

_____ syndrome is a renal tubular defect characterized by a generalized reabsorptive defect in the PCT (location) of the nephron
