89)Select the correct statement about the nephrons?
A. the parietal layer of hte glomerular capsule is simple squamous epithlium
B. the glomerulus is correctly described as the proximal end of the proximal
convoluted tublue
C. podocytes are the branching epitheilal cells that line the tubules of the
nephron
D. filtration slits are the pores that give fenestrated capillaries their name
Ans: A
90)What would happen if the capsular hydrostatic pressure were increased above
normal?
A. net filtration would increase above normal
B. net filtration would decrease
C. filtration would increase in proportion to the increase in capsular
pressure
D. capsular osmotic pressure would compensate so that filatration would not
change
Ans: B

A. granular cells
B. macula densa
C. podocyte cells
D. mesangial cells
Ans: C
92)Tubular reaborption?
A. includes substances such as creatiinine
B. by active mehanisms usually invovlves movement against an electrical and or
chemical gradient
C. by passive processes requires ATP to move solutes form the interior of the
tubule to the blood
D. is a way for the body to get rid of unwanted wast
Ans: B
93)Which of the following is not a reason why substances are either not
reaborbed or are incompletley reabsorbed from the nephron?
A. they lack carriers
B. they are not lipid soluble
C. they are too lare too pass thorugh the fenestrations
D. they are extremely complex molecules
Ans: D
94)Reabsorbption of high levels of glucose and amino acids in the filtrate is
accomplished by?
A. facilitated diffusion
B. passive transport
C. countertransport
D. secondary active transport
Ans: D
95)Which of the choices below is a function of the loop of henle?
A. form a large volume of very concentrated urine or a small volume of very
dilute urine
B. form a large volume of very dilute urine or a small volume of very
concentrated urine

osmosis
D. none of these
Ans: B
96)Fetal kidneys do not have to work very hard because?
A. fetuses do not have any waste to excrete
B. there are not functional nephrons until after birth
C. the placenta allows the mothers urniary system to clear the waste from
fetal blood
D. there is no way a fetus could excrete urine until the seventh month of
development
Ans: C

yrs or older)?
A. kidney function remains the same throughout life, regardless of age
B. only about 3% of older adults have any loss of kindey function
C. only obese and diabetic older adults have any kidney dysfunction
D. kidney function decreases due to kidney atrophy

Ans: C
100)If one says that the clearance value of glucose is zero, what does that
mean?
A. the glucose molecule is too larege to be filtered out of the blood
B. most of the glucose is filtered out of the blood and is not reaborbed in
the convoluted tubules
C. normally all the glucose is reabsorbed
D. the clearance value of the glucose is relatively high in a healthy adult
Ans: C
