Lactated Ringer's

D5W

None of the choices

The kidneys serve the following essential functions, which is the first and foremost?

They regulate the body's fluid status, electrolyte balance, and acid-base balance

The kidneys produce or activate hormones that are involved in erythrogenesis, Calcium metabolism and the regulation of blood pressure and blood flow

The kidneys are also endocrine organs: they produce renin, the biologically active form of vitamin D, erythropoietin, prostaglandins, and bradykinin

They function as filters, removing metabolic products and toxins from the blood and excreting them in urine

The total number of nephrons in both kidneys is about

800, 000 to 1, 200, 000 nephrons

1, 600, 000 to 2, 400, 000 nephrons

1, 000, 000 to 2, 000, 000 nephrons

800, 000 to 1, 000, 000

A 28 y/o male was admitted because of fever, temp was noted to be 39 degrees Celsius. If the insensible water loss was calculated to be 700mL/day, under physiologic conditions. In this situation, insensible fluid loss is estimated to be?

700mL

770mL

1400mL

500mL

The podocytes consists of negatively charged GAGs and play a role in preventing leakage of large negatively charged macromolecules

True

False

Mesangial cells of the glomerular capillaries are almost completely surrounded by the glomerular capillaries basement membrane and a layer of podocyte foot processes except in the small regions towards the center of the glomerulus where they have neither basement membrane nor podocytes.

False

True

Filtration occurs towards the mesangial cells at the peripheral portion of the capillary wall which is covered by basement membrane and podocytes.

False

True

The endothelial cells contain large fenestrations 70nm hole that has no restriction to the movement of water and small solutes out of the lumen of the capillary

True

False

FAT1, Neph1, Nephrin, Podocin, and other membranes organize on lipid rafts of podocytes form the slit diaphragm of filtration slits that control slit permeability

True

False

Which of the following arrangement is correct regarding renal circulation

High resistance arteriole (afferent). High pressure capillary glomerular network filtration. High resistance arteriole (efferent). Low pressure capillary network

Low resistance arteriole (afferent). Low pressure capillary glomerular network filtration. Low resistance arteriole (efferent). High pressure capillary network

High resistance arteriole (afferent). High pressure capillary glomerular network filtration. Low resistance arteriole (efferent). Low pressure capillary network

In order to maintain stable and optimal extracellular levels of solute in water, it is essential to have what GFR?

Low GFR

High GFR

Moderate GFR

What part of the glomerular filtration barrier contains fenestrations large enough to allow passage of non-cellular elements of blood?

It consists of negatively charged glycosaminoglycans that may play a role in preventing leakage of large negatively charged macromolecules

Glycocalyx

Bowman's space and capsule

Endothelial cells

Podocytes

It is a region of specialized epithelial cells of the thick ascending limb, where it contacts its glomerulus

JGA

Macula Densa

Mesangial cells

Granular cells

It serve as conduits for the passage of urine from the renal pelvis into the urinary bladder

Ureter

Renal Hilus

Renal bladder

Urethra
