The glomerular filtration rate is most affected by:
1. blood osmotic pressure
2. capsular osmotic pressure
3. capsular hydrostatic pressure
4. net filtration pressure
The functions of human kidneys do not include:
1. Secretion of renin to regulate GFR and blood pressure.
2. Activating vitamin D.
3. Site of maximum gluconeogenesis in the body.
4. Production of erythropoietin that stimulates bone marrow.
Which of these has the highest concentration in the urine?
1. | glucose | 2. | sodium |
3. | uric acid | 4. | phosphate |
An excessive loss of fluid from the body can activate the osmoreceptors leading to the secretion of:
1. Angiotensinogen from the liver
2. ADH from the hypothalamus
3. Renin from the juxtaglomerular cells
4. Aldosterone from the adrenal cortex
