Renal Physiology Step 2: Tubular Reabsorption Practice Problems

ADH acts on the kidneys to reabsorb water. In which specific part of the kidney does ADH influence water reabsorption:

Which of the following is incorrect about the adaptations in the peritubular capillaries for the reabsorption of various substances?

Which of the following will not be considered passive tubular reabsorption?

Identify the incorrectly matched pair with respect to tubular reabsorption of substances in various parts of a nephron.

Which of the following parts of a nephron completely reabsorbs glucose?

Which of the following is not reabsorbed by the proximal convoluted tubule of a nephron?

The majority of the reabsorption process occurs in:

How does the distal convoluted tubule help regulate the body's acid-base balance?

Which of the following structures of the adrenal cortex releases aldosterone into the bloodstream when the body senses a need to conserve sodium or accelerate its reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule?

What happens to the workload on the kidneys with high-salt diets and excessive water intake?

After processing in the tubular system, the urine will pass through all of the following structures in females, EXCEPT:

The proximal tubule can reabsorb almost 100% of which of the following substances?

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) can regulate the reabsorption of which of the following by the distal tubules?

What would be the primary characteristic of urine produced by the kidneys in the absence of ADH?

Under what circumstances does the late distal tubule and collecting system produce concentrated urine?

Urea is a metabolic waste and should be eliminated through urination. Why is urea reabsorbed in the kidneys:

How does the descending loop of Henle contribute to urine concentration?

Which of the following is not considered one of the results of blocking the Na+/Cl−/2K+ transport pumps in the Loop of Henle?

What is the relationship between aldosterone and sodium retention?
