Renal Physiology — Flashcards

In the absence of _____, the principal cells of the late distal tubule and collecting duct are impermeable to water

Angiotensin II normally _____ the efferent arteriole of the kidney

_____ is the major anion reabsorbed in the early PCT

_____ is the major anion reabsorbed in the late PCT of the nephron

_____ clearance can be used to calculate effective renal plasma flow (eRPF) because it is both filtered and secreted

If the filtered load is _____ than the excretion rate, there has been net secretion (reabsorption or secretion)

Atrial natriuretic peptide causes vaso-_____ of afferent arterioles and, to a lesser extent, vaso-constriction of efferent arterioles

In the lumen of the collecting duct, _____ and H+ combine to form NH4+

Creatinine clearance slightly _____-estimates GFR because creatinine is moderately secreted by renal tubules

The effects of ECF volume _____ on the Starling forces result in increased fractional reabsorption of isosmotic fluid in the proximal tubule
