Q

it regulates the flow of blood to and within the glomerulus.

A

RAAS (Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System)

18
Q

This system respond to changes in blood pressure and plasma sodium content

A

RAAS (Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System)

19

this monitors the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System

A

JUXTAGLOMERULAR APPARATUS

20
Q

The body cannot lose 120 mL of water-containing essential substances every
minute

A

TUBULAR REABSORPTION

21
Q

REABSORPTION MECHANISMS

A

ACTIVE TRANSPORT and PASSIVE TRANSPORT

22
Q

Can be influenced by the concentration of the substance being transported.

A

ACTIVE TRANSPORT

23
Q

in active transport, where is substance to be reabsorbed must combined with that is contained in the membranes of the renal tubular cells?

A

carrier protein

24
Q

plasma concentration at which active transport stops.

A

Renal threshold

25
Q

Renal threshold for glucose

A

160 to 180 mg/dL

26
Q

movement of molecules across membrane as a result of
differences in their concentration or electrical potential.

A

PASSIVE TRANSPORT

27
Q

location of Glucose Amino acids Salts in active transport

A

Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT)

28
Q

location of sodium in active transport

A

A

Proximal Convoluted Tubule(PCT)
Descending Loop of Henle
Collecting Duct

30

Ascending Loop of Henle

31
Q

location of sodium in passive transport

A

Ascending Loop of Henle

32
Q

where is water removed by osmosis

A

descending loop of Henle

33
Q

what is reabsorbed in ascending loop of henle?

A

sodium and chloride

34
Q

a selective reabsorption process that serves to maintain the osmotic gradient of the medulla

A

countercurrent mechanism

35
Q

where is the final concentration of the filtrate through the reabsorption of water begins

A

late distal convoluted tubule (and
continues in the collecting duct.)

36
Q

2 MAJOR FUNCTIONS OF TUBULAR SECRETION
