10 Questions
What is the excretion rate when a substance is freely filtered but partly reabsorbed from the tubules?
Excretion rate equals filtration rate minus reabsorption rate
What happens to the excretion rate when a substance is freely filtered but neither reabsorbed nor secreted?
Excretion rate equals filtration rate
What occurs when a substance is freely filtered but totally reabsorbed?
Excretion rate equals filtration rate minus tubular secretion rate
What happens when a substance is freely filtered, not reabsorbed, and additional quantities are secreted into the renal tubules?
Excretion rate equals filtration rate plus tubular secretion rate
What is the quantitative importance of tubular reabsorption in the formation of urine?
More important than tubular secretion
What happens when a substance is freely filtered but neither reabsorbed nor secreted?
The excretion rate equals the filtration rate
What occurs when a substance is freely filtered but totally reabsorbed?
The excretion rate is zero
What is the quantitative importance of tubular reabsorption in the formation of urine?
It is more important than tubular secretion
Why are large amounts of solutes filtered and then reabsorbed by the kidneys?
To regulate the concentration of solutes in the blood
What occurs when a substance is freely filtered and is not reabsorbed, but additional quantities are secreted from the blood into the renal tubules?
The substance is rapidly cleared from the blood and excreted in large amounts in the urine
