Most of us produce about _?_ of filtrate per day.
| | 180 liters |
| | 180,000 gallons |
| | 2.5 liters |
| | 0.8 liters |
| | None of these are correct |
filtration in the many glomerular capsules is somewhat constantexcept for certain conditions.  Which of the followingmay alter GFR?
| | excess body fluids will decrease GFR |
| | low body volume will increase GFR |
| | excessive body fluid will increase GFR |
| | Secretion of Renin will have no effect on GFR |
| | Atrial natriuretic peptide, when secreted, will stimulate sodiumretention by the kidneys. |
| | The secretion of Angiotensin II will cause vasodilation anddecreased thirst. |
Which choice represents an accurate route for urine?
| | minor calyx to major calyx to nephron |
| | major calyx to the renal pyramid to the bladder |
| | major calyx to the renal pelvis to the ureter |
| | nephron to renal sinus to renal column |
Why does aldosterone secretion help during periods ofdehydration?
| | Aldosterone induces sodium reabsorption which increases waterretention |
| | Aldosterone stimulates the collecting ducts to be impermeable towater, increasing urine production |
| | Aldosterone blocks the action of Renin |
| | Aldosterone causes angiotensinogen to be neutralized. |
| | Two of these choices are correct |
