Question

3. Match each of the following functions with the nephron structure that performs them. A. afferent arteriolet makes medulla salty to aid in the reabsorption of B. collecting duct water C. renal corpuscle 17 leaky capillaries designed to allow water and D. distal convoluted tubule E. efferent arterioles electrolytes to leave 6.A controls filtration pressure in the glomerulus by F. glomerular capsule constricting or dilating (there are two answers for this G. Glomerulus one!) H. nephron loop id. I. proximal convoluted reabsorption of electrolytes; involved in blood acid- tubule base balance 8. E carries blood away from the glomerulus 9. site of hormonally-controlled water reabsorption; leads to renal papilla 10. major site of reabsorption; amino acids and glucose in addition to electrolytes 11. collects filtrate from the glomerulus 12.C includes the glomerulus and the glomerular capsule 13. Which type of nephron (juxtamedullary or cortical) is responsible for making the medulla salty?

Answer 1

4. C - renal medulla
5. H - nephron loop
6. A & E
7. I - proximal convoluted tubule
8. E - efferent arteriole
9. B - collecting tubule
10. I - proximal convoluted tubule
11. F - glomerular capsule
12. C - renal corpuscle
