Questions and Answers

What is the relationship between inulin clearance and glomerular filtration rate (GFR)?

  • Inulin clearance is less than GFR
  • Inulin clearance is greater than GFR
  • Inulin clearance is unrelated to GFR
  • Inulin clearance is equal to GFR (correct)

    • What additional amount of plasma can be cleared if a substance is actively secreted into the renal tubules?

  • The substance reduces urine production
  • An additional amount of plasma can be cleared of that substance (correct)
  • No additional plasma can be cleared
  • The substance inhibits plasma clearance

    • What happens if a substance is not reabsorbed in the renal tubules?

  • All of the filtered amount will be cleared (correct)
  • The substance is excreted in a concentrated form
  • The substance returns to the bloodstream
  • The substance accumulates in the renal tubules
