Hypoproteinemia is a condition which has very low levels of plasma proteins. This will be characterized by:

1) tissue edema

2) low pH

3) hyperventilation

4) a dehydrated look

An increase in the permeability of the collecting ducts to water is primarily due to:

1) an increase in the production of ANP

2) an increase in the production of ADH

3) an increase in the production of aldosterone

4) a decrease in the solute concentration

As ventilation increases and more CO2 is removed from the blood, the H+ concentration of the blood decreases.

1) True

2) False

Tubular reabsorption:

1) includes substances such as creatinine

2) is a way for the body to get rid of unwanted wastes

3) by active mechanisms requires ATP to move substances from the lumen of the tubule to blood.

4) of water is passive and involves movement of water from the blood into the lumen of the tubule

The kidneys are stimulated to produce renin :

1) when the pH of the urine increases

2) when the peritubular capillaries are dilated

3) by a decrease in blood pressure

4) when the pH of the urine decreases

The fluid in the Bowman's capsular space is similar to plasma, except that it does not contain:

1) glucose

2) electrolytes

3) creatinine

4) plasma proteins

5) amino acids

Which of these regions is impermeable to water ?

1) PCT

2) DCT

3) descending limb of loop of Henle

4) ascending limb of loop of Henle

Drinking large quantities of alcohol, will cause..?

1) copious (large)quantities of urine to be produced

The liquid that collects in the cavity of glomerular (Bowman's) capsule can best be described as

1) concentrated urine

2) bile ready for excretion

3) glycogen and water

4) blood minus blood proteins and cells

The movement of substances from the lumen of the kidney tubules to the blood is known as

1) tubular filtration

4) juxta glomerular appasratus

Consider a situation where ketoacidosis occurs and blood pH drops dangerously low. Under this circumstance the nephron would respond by increased

1) H+ secretion

2) HCO3- secretion

3) CO2 secretion

4) Na+ filtration

5) K+ reabsorption

Macy was hemorrhaging (bleeding profusely)and her blood pressure was falling dramatically. To maintain homeostasis the body will produce a number of hormones. Which of the following hormones would not be secreted during this time?

1) ADH

2) Atrial Natriuretic Peptide

3) Aldosterone

4) Angiostensin

Tom is a tennis star who has been practicing for about 3 hours. His tissues are metabolizing and therefore producing excessive quantities of CO2. His respiratory rate goes up considerably.Why do you think this is happening?

1) To get rid of the excess HCO3 ions that are forming.

2) To get rid of the excess H ions that are forming.

3) to conserve CO2 since the tissues are getting rid of it

4) to conserve carbonic acid that is being depleted

A person has been sweating a great deal and has not ingested adequate quantities of water, to make up for the loss. His body's homeostatic mechanisms respond by secreting ?

1) erythropoeitin

2) aldosterone

3) ADH

4) 'a' and 'b'

5) 'b' and 'c'

Peter has just had surgery and is on nasogastric suction. This involves removing fluids from the stomach through a tube. The new intern does the suction a little too enthusiastically and removes too much HCl. What do you think will happen to the pH?

2) the pH will fall

3) there will be no effect on the pH

4) the pH will fall initially and then rise
