Which of the following is a physiological function that occurs during the flow of blood through the nephron?
Which of the following is a physiological function that occurs during the flow of blood through the nephron?
- Glomerular ultrafiltration (correct)
- Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS)
- Tubular secretion
- Creatinine clearance test
What is the function of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS)?
What is the function of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS)?
- Maintenance of acid-base balance
- Evaluation of renal blood flow
- Concentration of urine
- Regulation of blood pressure (correct)
What is the difference between active and passive transport in relation to renal concentration?
What is the difference between active and passive transport in relation to renal concentration?
- Active transport occurs in the glomerulus, while passive transport occurs in the renal tubules
- Active transport is regulated by antidiuretic hormone, while passive transport is regulated by tubular secretion
- Active transport requires energy, while passive transport does not (correct)
- Active transport involves the movement of solutes from an area of low concentration to high concentration, while passive transport involves the movement of solutes from an area of high concentration to low concentration
