O Visceral layer O Parietal layer Absorbing layer O Basement membrane layer QUESTION 24 2 points Save Answer when Juxtaglomerular cells of the juxtaglomerular apparatus secrete Angiotensin-converting enzyme; blood pressure increases O Potassium; chloride concentration increases O Renin; blood pressure drops Atrial natriuretic peptide; blood volume increases

Answer 1

Q23) A. visceral layer.

Podocytes make up the visceral layer of glomerulus.

Renal Corpuscle and the Filtration Membrane Glomerular capsular space Efferent- arteriole Afferent arteriole Cytoplasmic extensions of podocytes - Filtration slits = spaces between foot processes, covered by very thin slit diaphragm Glomerular capillary- covered by Podocytes (Podocytes are the epithelial cells that make up visceral layer of glomerular capsule) Proximal convoluted tubule Parietal layer Podocyte of glomerular cell body capsule (simple squamous epithelium) Fenestrations (pores) (a) Renal corpuscle Glomerular capillary endothelium (podocyte covering Foot processes and basement of podocyte membrane removed) (b) Glomerular capillary surrounded by podocytes

Q24) C. renin, Blood pressure drops.

Q25) B. generation of new bicarbonate ions.

Q26) b. PCT

Proximal tubule helps in absortion of all the essential nutrients like glucose and amino acids including the absortion of water and ions.
