The _____ limb (loop of Henle) is permeable to water

_____ renal tubular acidosis is due to a defect in the ability of -intercalated cells to secrete H+

Phosphate is primarily reabsorbed in the _____ through Na+-phosphate cotransport

Activation of _____ adrenergic receptors on the juxtaglomerular cells causes increased renin release

When CH2O is _____, urine is iso-osmotic relative to plasma

The _____ mechanism of renal autoregulation states that renal afferent arterioles contract in response to vasoactive substances released by the macula densa

_____ syndrome is a renal tubular defect characterized by a gain of function mutation in the ENaC channel in the collecting duct of the nephron

Glucose is reabsorbed in the _____ by Na+/glucose (SGLT) cotransporters

In the inner medullary collecting ducts, urea is reabsorbed by the _____ transporter, which is activated by ADH
