Sodium is the principal cation in blood. If the blood concentration of sodium ions gets below normal:
1. blood volume increases and blood pressure decreases
2. water drains from the collecting duct
3. blood volume and blood pressure decrease
4. ADH secretion increases
RAAS is opposed by:
1. | ADH | 2. | renin |
3. | atrial natriuretic peptide | 4. | angiotensin II |
Mammals are:
1. osmoconformers.
2. hypotonic to their environment.
3. hypertonic to their environment.
4. osmoregulators.
The most toxic nitrogenous metabolic waste product is:
1. ammonia | 2. urea |
3. uric acid | 4. methane |

The basic functions of human kidneys in the production of urine include all the following except:
1. | Glomerular filtration | 2. | Tubular reabsorption |
3. | Tubular secretion | 4. | Erythropoietin production |
The reabsorption, from the filtrate, of sodium, glucose and amino acids:
1. involves the Bowman's capsule
2. is restricted to the loop of Henle
3. occurs mainly in the proximal convoluted tubules
4. occurs mainly by osmosis
