HMB Peer Teaching - Tubular reabsorption and secretion

1

In the normal body, how much glucose is passed in the urine per day (i.e. not reabsorbed into the bloodstream)?

1

The majority of tubular reabsorption occurs in what part of the nephron?

1

In the event of elevated glomerular filtration rate (GFR), the proportion of sodium reabsorbed in the proximal tubule:

1

In the presence of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), the collecting tubule is water impermeable.

1

Compared to later segments, earlier segments of the proximal convoluted tubule have:

1

How many types of cells comprise the collecting duct?

1

A urinary osmolality of 60-70mosm/kg, with a 15mL/min rate of flow would indicate a lack of anti-diuretic hormone (ADH).

1

With respect to transcellular reabsorption of glucose, which option correctly matches transporter proteins to their position in the given picture?

1

Superficial cortical nephrons contain a thin ascending limb of the loop of Henle.

1

Which part of the nephron is very permeable to water but is almost completely impermeable to Na+, Cl- and urea; this section also has no active transport.

A quiz with feedback to facilitate interactive learning and study for students of UNSW Medicine's HMB course. The lecture covered is 'Tubular reabsorption and secretion'.
