A substance is neither filtered, reabsorbed, nor secreted in the kidney. This substance would be most likely found in:
1. glomerular filtrate
2. blood in the renal vein
3. Collecting duct
4. Loop of Henle
Loops of Henle is found in the nephron of:
1. insects
2. fish
3. birds
4. amphibians
What will be seen in a fish living in a marine environment?
1. They do not drink the water in their surroundings.
2. They drink the water in their surroundings.
3. They move monovalent ions into their bodies through active transport across their epithelial outer tissue.
4. They move monovalent ions out of their bodies through active transport across their epithelial outer tissue.
A vertebrate osmoconformer is:
1. reptile
2. freshwater fish
3. dlophin
4. hagfish
The urine concentrating ability of mammals and birds is correlated with the length of their:
1. | ureters | 2. | proximal convoluted tubules |
3. | distal convoluted tubules | 4. | loops of Henle |
The part of the nephron that is least permeable to water is the:
1. ascending limb of the loop of Henle
2. descending limb of the loop of Henle
3. collecting duct
4. proximal convoluted tubule
Glomerular ultrafiltrate would normally not contain:
1. plasma proteins
2. glucose and amino acids
3. water
4. urea
Bony fishes are:
1. ureotelic | 2. ammonotelic |
3. uricotelic | 4. Either 1 or 3 |
Urea in humans is synthesized in:
1. Kidneys | 2. Renal vein |
3. Liver | 4. Urinary bladder |
The region of human kidney where you expect to find maximum osmolarity is:
1. at the top of the renal cortex
2. at the bottom of the renal cortex
3. at the top of the renal medulla
4. at the bottom of the renal medulla
