Renal Physiology — Flashcards

_____ -osmotic urine is produced when the circulating levels of ADH are low

The _____ and thick ascending limbs (loop of Henle) are impermeable to water

_____ levels of angiotensin II primarily causes vasoconstriction of the renal efferent arterioles

_____ is a neurotransmitter that may be secreted by cells of the PCT of the nephron

If Cx _____ GFR, there is net tubular reabsorption of X

A _____ shift in renal pressure natriuresis curve is caused by angiotensin II by increasing Na and water retention

_____ clearance can be used to calculate GFR because it is freely filtered and is not reabsorbed or secreted

_____ syndrome is a renal tubular defect that increases activity of the epithelial Na+ channel

An _____ in the filtration fraction is associated with a decrease in the Glomerular Filtration Rate.

Hint: increase/decrease

PTH acts on the kidney to increase renal _____ reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule
