Chapter 14. Toxic Responses of the Kidney
++
++
++
The kidney is responsible for all of the following EXCEPT:
+
+
++
+
++
+
++
c. reabsorption of electrolytes.
+
++
d. regulation of extracellular fluid.
+
++
e. release of angiotensin.
++
++
++
Which of the following does NOT contribute to filtrate formation in the nephron?
+
+
++
a. capillary hydrostatic pressure.
+
++
b. positive charge of glomerular capillary wall.
+
++
c. hydraulic permeability of glomerular capillary wall.
+
++
d. colloid oncotic pressure.
+
++
e. size of filtration slits.
++
++
++
Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of the loop of Henle?
+
+
++
a. There is reabsorption of filtered Na+ and K+.
+
++
b. Tubular fluid in the thin descending limb is iso-osmotic to the renal interstitium.
+
++
c. Water is freely permeable in the thin ascending limb.
+
++
d. Na+ and Cl− are reabsorbed in the thin ascending limb.
+
++
e. The thick ascending limb is impermeable to water.
++
++
++
Although the kidneys constitute 0.5% of total body mass, approximately how much of the resting cardiac output do they receive?
+
+
++
+
++
+
++
+
++
+
++
++
++
++
Which of the following is most likely to occur after a toxic insult to the kidney?
+
+
++
a. GFR will decrease in the unaffected kidney.
+
++
b. Tight-junction integrity will increase in the nephron.
+
++
c. The unaffected cells will undergo atrophy and proliferation.
+
++
d. Clinical tests will likely show normal renal function.
+
++
e. Glomerulotubular balance is lost.
++
++
++
Chronic renal failure does not typically result in:
+
+
++
a. decrease in GFR of viable nephrons.
+
++
+
++
+
++
d. increased glomerular pressures.
+
++
e. altered capillary permeability.
