Resource summary

Question 1

Question
In the normal body, how much glucose is passed in the urine per day (i.e. not reabsorbed into the bloodstream)?
Answer
  • 0 mmol/day
  • 10-20 mmol/day
  • ~720 mmol/day
  • 100-200 mmol/day

Question 2

Question
The majority of tubular reabsorption occurs in what part of the nephron?
Answer
  • Proximal Convoluted Tubule
  • Bowman's Capsule
  • Loop of Henle
  • Distal Convoluted Tubule

Question 3

Question
In the event of elevated glomerular filtration rate (GFR), the proportion of sodium reabsorbed in the proximal tubule:
Answer
  • Increases
  • Decreases
  • Remains constant
  • Sodium is not reabsorbed in the proximal tubule

Question 4

Question
In the presence of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), the collecting tubule is water impermeable.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 5

Question
Compared to later segments, earlier segments of the proximal convoluted tubule have:
Answer
  • More rapid transcellular transport and leakier paracellular pathways.
  • Less rapid transcellular transport and leakier paracellular pathways.
  • More rapid transcellular transport and tighter paracellular pathways.
  • Less rapid transcellular transport and tighter paracellular pathways.

Question 6

Question
How many types of cells comprise the collecting duct?
Answer
  • 1
  • 2
  • 3
  • 4

Question 7

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

Question 8

Question
With respect to transcellular reabsorption of glucose, which option correctly matches transporter proteins to their position in the given picture?
Answer
  • 1. GLUT 2 2. SGLT 2 3. GLUT 1 4. SGLT 1
  • 1. GLUT 1 2. SGLT 1 3. GLUT 2 4. SGLT 2
  • 1. GLUT 2 2. SGLT 1 3. GLUT 2 4. SGLT 1
  • 1. GLUT 1 2. SGLT 2 3. GLUT 1 4. SGLT 2

Question 9

Question
Superficial cortical nephrons contain a thin ascending limb of the loop of Henle.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 10

Question
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.
Answer
  • Proximal Convoluted Tubule
  • Thin Descending Limb of Loop of Henle
  • Thin Ascending Limb of Loop of Henle
  • Thick Ascending Limb of Loop of Henle
  • Distal Convoluted Tubule
