Functions of the nephron

Question 1

A)

Hey What is the liquid that collects in the Bowmans capsule?

Answer 1

Plasma minus blood proteins

Question 2

D)

Tubular excretion occurs where?

Answer 2

At the distal convoluted tubule

Question 3

Blood pressure is…

Answer 3

Very important

Question 4

C)

Since the body cannot afford to lose all of its water, it must reabsorb into the…

Answer 4

Blood

Question 5

The loop of Henle creates a high osmotic pressure in the….

Answer 5

Medulla

Question 6

A)

First, blood enters the glomerulusWhich is surrounded by the Bowmans capsule. What occurs here?

Answer 6

Pressure filtration occurs

Question 7

D)
Excess molecules in the blood such as H+ ions, histamine, penicillin and ammonia are secreted into it to be all from blood, they are for helping to…

Answer 7

Maintain homeostasis.

Helps maintains blood pH

Question 8

B)

What occurs At the proximal convoluted tubule?

Answer 8

Selective reabsorption

Question 9

C)

What is result from the process of re-absorption of water into the blood?

Answer 9

The negative ion (CI-) And water follows the sodium by osmosis, to even out electrical and concentration gradients

Question 10

Water is reabsorbed along the…

Answer 10

Entire length of the nephron. Therefore urine is concentrated

Question 11

What are the filter the blood components?

Answer 11

Water
Nutrients
Nitrogenous waste
Salt (ions)

Question 12

When blood pressure is too low and filtration does not occur, a hormone called ________ is released from a specialized tissue in the _________.

Answer 12

Rennin, Glomerulus.

This causes the constriction of the Glomerulus, thus, the blood pressure is increased to an adequate level

Question 13

The fluid going up the distal side of the loop of Henle had a greater [____________ of wastes and little nutrient value

Answer 13

Concentration

Question 14

What are the non-filtered blood components?

Answer 14

Formed elements- (blood cells and nitrogenous wastes platelets)

Proteins

Question 15

E)

Concentrated urine from the collecting tubule collect and go to the…

Answer 15

Renal pelvis

Question 16

C)

During the reabsorption of water into the blood, the cells of the loop of the Henle actively pump…

Answer 16

NA+ out of the tubule and k+ into the nephron.

Question 17

What does not occur if blood pressure is too low?

Answer 17

Filtration will not occur

Question 18

The blood in the capillaries are __________ to the fluids in the fluids spaces.

Answer 18

Hypertonic

Question 19

B)

Selective reabsorption’s required nutrients,

Answer 19

glucose, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, salt molecules and some water are reabsorbed into the peritubular capillary network

Question 20

A)

Once pressure filtration occurs, water, nutrients and wastes enter the Bowmans capsule. What does not enter?

Answer 20

Large organic molecules do not enter they are filtered

Question 21

B)

Selective reabsorption requires…

Answer 21

ATP
