Question | Answer |
the thin ascending limb is highly impermeable to what? | |
nuclei are located in the apical portion of which type of tubule | |
capillaries of the renal medulla | |
commonly referred to as the thick descending tubule of the loop of Henle. Descends into the medulla. | |
the Na/K ATPase pumps Na in or out of the cell? | |
True or False: The cells of the proximal straight tubule are more specialized that that of the proximal convoluted tubule. | |
arteries in between the medulla and cortex of the kidney | |
the proximal straight tubule, the thin segment, and the distal striaght tubule are collectively known as what? | |
small transmembrane protein that functions as a molecular water channel in the cell membrane of proximal convoluted tubules. | |
these cells provide structural support and act as macrophages in the GBM of the kidney | |
an area of closely packed specialized cells lining the wall of the distal tubule at the point of return of the nephron to the vascular pole of its parent glomerulus, (glomerular va | |
visceral epithelial cells that extend processes around the glomerular capillaries | |
which tubule receives the ultrafiltrate from the urinary space of Bowman's capsule? | |
an inability of the renal tubules to respond to antidiuretic hormone (ADH) resulting in inefficient water resorption by the collecting tubules. | |
also referred to as the thick ascending tubule of the loop of Henle. Ascends through the medulla to enter the cortex | |
the basal striations of the proximal convoluted tubule contain which organelle? | |
elongated space in between the interdigitating processes that allow the ultrafiltrate from the blood to enter Bowmans space | |
point where afferent and efferent arterioles enter and exit Bowmans capsule | |
secretes renin | |
double layered epithelial cup surrounding the glomerulus | |
True or False: the proximal convoluted tubule aids in digestion of peptides and disaccharides | |
this is where the proximal convoluted tubule begins | |
central medullary ray and surrounding cortical material | |
when ultrafiltrate enters the loop of henle it is isoosmotic to plasma. when it leaves it is what? | |
this glycoprotein regulates RBC formation in response to decreased blood oxygen concentration | |
