nefro Flashcards
The main function of tubular system is filtration of blood
falso
Kidneys regulate pH in blood
verdadero
Creatinine is NOT an indicator of Glomerular filtration rate
falso
The urine formation begin in the bladder
falso
A glomerular filtration rate of 120 is normal
falso
Infections of kidneys can produce an intrarenal kidney failure
verdadero
Kidneys regulate calcium metabolism
verdadero
Accumulation of Urea in blood is a key sign of kidney failure
verdadero
A healthy person filtrates proteins in the glomerulus.
falso
Prostate cancer could be an intrarenal cause of kidney failure
falso
Systemic Blood pressure has a minimal effect in the Glomerular Filtration Rate
falso
Which are the functions of the nephron?
Tubular secretion
Tubular reabsortion
Glomerular filtration
Vasoconstriction of the afferent artery will decrease de pressure in the glomerulus
falso
Renal failure can be measured by Glomerular Filtration Rate
verdadero
Kidneys have the capability of electrolyte balance
verdadero
Cardiac failure could be a cause of pre renal failure
verdadero
Kidneys get less than 5% of the cardiac output
falso
Glucose is easily filtered in the kidneys
verdadero
The urinary excretion depends on the filtration rate of the glomerulus
verdadero
Autonomous nervous system is a regulating mechanism of glomerular filtration rate
verdadero
If the blood flow in the glomerulus decreases then the glomerular filtration rate increases
falso
Which is the functional unit of the kidney?
nephron
