Kidney

Question 1

What organ is found by the right kidney?

Answer 1

Colon

Question 2

Is the Glomerulus in the medulla or cortex?

Answer 2

Cortex

Question 3

In a healthy kidney, what does not get passed through (aka gets reabsorbed)?

Answer 3

Albumin and glucose

Question 4

What cells line the visceral layer of Bowman’s capsule?

Answer 4

Podocytes

Question 5

Where does the most kidney reabsorption and ATP use occur in the nephron?

Answer 5

Proximal Convoluted Tubule

Question 6

Where is the highest osmolality in the nephron?

Answer 6

Thick Ascending Loop of Henle

Allows for reabsorption of Na, Cl, and K, but is impermeable to H₂O

Question 7

[] produced in the zona glomerulosa and affects the [] of the nephron.

Answer 7

Aldosterone

DCT

Question 8

Where in the nephron is there active reabsorption of Na⁺, Cl^-, and K⁺, and an impermeability to H₂O?

Answer 8

Ascending Loop of Henle

Question 9

ADH increases [] at the CD by increasing the number of [] [].

Answer 9

ADH increases H₂O reabsorption

Aquaporin-2 Channels

Question 10

An increase in ADH would produce a [] urine.

A deficiency of ADH would produce a [] urine.

Answer 10

Inc ADH = concentrated urine

(more H₂O is reabsorbed from the nephron into the blood)

Dec ADH = dilute urine
