cluster of blood capillaries and glomerular capsule; highly coiled tubule exiting the glomerular capsule
Which choice describes the countercurrent mechanism of the nephron loop?
Water moves out of the descending limb; sodium moves out of the ascending limb
When sodium ions are reabsorbed through the wall of the renal tubule by active transport, chloride ions
are
reabsorbed by passive transport.
Hemodialysis involves
an artificial kidney
Peristaltic waves force urine along the length of the ureter.
True
Secretion of atrial natriuretic peptide
increases sodium excretion
Podocytes and pedicels are part of the
glomerular capsule
Glomerulonephritis is inflammation of the
glomerular capillaries

uric acid
As a consequence of widespread edema associated with nephrotic syndrome, blood volume
decreases and blood pressure drops
Glomerular filtration produces about 18 liters of fluid in twenty-four hours.
False
, A renal clearance test determines the rate at which the kidneys can
remove a particular substance from the blood.

in her alveoli. Which of the following describes a way her body will try to compensate for the pH-related
condition she will develop?
Increase rate and depth of breathing
A person usually drinks about ________ milliliters a day.
