1
Q
- Normally what protein is found in the Urine?
A
None
2
Q
- The first protein to appear in the Urine in a Kidney disease is?
A
Albumin
3
Q
- Net filtration pressure that aids filtration at the Renal Corpuscle?
A
18 mm of Hg
4
Q
- Is filtration an active or a passive movement?
A
Passive process that does not require any ATP
5
Q
- What is the number of anastomosis in the Glomerulus?
A
Zero
6
Q
- What percentage of the Filtrate will become Urine? 1000 ml of filtrate is formed, how much will eventually becomes urine?
A
10 ml. Correct answer is that only 1% of the filtrate becomes Urine.
7
Q
- What happens to the 99% of the filtrate within the Nephron that does not become Urine?
A
It is reabsorbed by the Nephron into the Interstitial space and taken up by the capillaries that line alongside the Nephron (Peritubular network of capillaries)
8
Q
- What hormone is primarily responsible for the reabsorption of Sodium?
A
Aldosterone
9
Q
- Where is Aldosterone produced and secreted from?
A
Zona Glomerulosa of the Adrenal Cortex
10
Q
- Who stimulates the Zona Glomerulosa?
A
Angiotensin 2
11
Q
- How is Angiotensin 2 produced?
A
By the action of ACE (Angiotensin converting enzyme) on Angiotensin 1
12
Q
- How is Angiotensin 1 produced?
A
By the action of Renin on Angiotensinogen
13
Q
- Who produes Angiotensinogen?
A
Liver
14
Q
- What hormone is responsible for the reabsorption of water from the Nephron?
A
ADH (antidiuretic hormone)
15
Q
- Where is ADH produced?
A
Hypothalamus
