Renal Physiology — Flashcards

In the _____ limb (loop of Henle), osmolarity of the interstitial fluid increases ("single effect")

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Calcitriol stimulates increased _____ of Ca2+ and reabsorption of phosphate by the kidney.
