Renal Physiology — Flashcards

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

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

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

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

The _____ cells of the late distal tubule and collecting duct secrete H+

When CH2O is _____, urine is hyper-osmotic relative to plasma

Lactate is primarily reabsorbed in the _____ through Na+-lactate cotransport

The _____ and outer medullary collecting ducts are permeable to H2O and impermeable to urea (ADH present)

Prostaglandins act via a _____ mechanism to vaso-dilate the afferent arterioles

The _____ is the site of action of loop diuretics
