Renal corpuscle

Question 1

The renal corpuscle has a spherical structure that consists of:

Answer 1

  -Capillary network (gloemrulus)

Question 2

Answer 2

True

Question 3

Which arteriole delivers blood to the glomerulus

Answer 3

afferente arteriole

Question 4

Blood leaves via which arteriole?

Answer 4

Efferent arteriole

Question 5

Arrange these in proper order regarding the blood flow in the glomerulus

Answer 5

1) Flows in peritubular capillaries
2) Which drains into small venules
3) And return blood to venous system

Question 6

Where does filtration occur in the kidney?

Answer 6

Renal corpuscle

Question 7

Filtration forces water and dissolved solutes of glomerular capillaries into what space

Answer 7

capsular space

Question 8

True or false- The kindeys produce protein-rich solution(filtrate) similar to blood plasma

Answer 8

False- It is protein-free solution

Question 9

There are 3 functions of the renal tubule- many of these is to reabsorb and secrete. What is it reabsorbing and secreting

Answer 9

1. Reabsorb useful organic nutrients that enter filtrate
2. Reabsorb more than 90% of water in filtrate
   3) Secrete waste products that failed to enter renal coruscle through filtration at glomerulus
