27
Q

A drug that inhibits angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) may lead to which of the below

  • Increase urinary loss of sodium
  • Reduction of blood pressure
  • Decreased sodium reabsorption
A

All of the above

28
Q

Antidiuretic hormone

A

increases the permeability of the collecting ducts to water

29
Q

Blood colloid osmotic pressure (BCOP) in the glomerulus is generated by

31
Q

Capillaries that surround the proximal convoluted tubules are

32
Q

During the micturition reflex,

33
Q

Functions of the urinary system include

A
