24
Q

WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT/S IS/ARE TRUE?
- Exhalation results from elastic recoil of the chest wall and the lungs
- Inhalation is a passive process
- Inhalation starts when the inspiratory muscles relax
- All the choices are correct
- None of the choices is true

A

Exhalation results from elastic recoil of the chest wall and the lungs

25
Spasmodic contraction of the diaphragm followed by a spasmodic closure of the rima glottidis, which produces a sharp sound on inhalation: - Hiccupping - Coughing - Sneezing - Valsalva
Hiccupping
26
The papillae of the renal pyramids are located close to the renal _____ area. - Medulla - Pelvis - Cortex - Capsule
Pelvis
27
The area where the renal artery enters the kidney and the renal vein and ureter exits the kidney is called the ______. - Bowman's capsule - Juxtaglomerular apparatus - Macula densa - Renal hilum
Renal hilum
28
Correct sequence of blood flow through the kidneys on its route to the glomeruli of the nephrons?
renal artery segmental artery interlobar artery arcuate artery (cortical radiate) artery afferent arteriole
29
correct sequence regarding the flow of waste products through the nephrons of the kidneys?
glomerular capsule proximal convoluted tubule loop of Henle distal convoluted tubule collecting duct
30
One of the many functions of the nephrons is to put water back into the bloodstream to prevent dehydration. In order to accomplish that task, the antidiuretic hormone (ADH) causes various areas of the nephrons to become permeable to water. What region of the numerous nephrons is sensitive to ADH?
Distal convoluted tubule
31
Once the nephron becomes permeable to water, water will enter into the bloodstream and therefore stay in the body. What is/are the name/s of the blood vessels that surround the nephrons?
Vasa recta
32
In the glomerulus, these cells cover the capillaries which makes the membrane impermeable to plasma proteins and blood cells.
Podocytes
33
The following are part of the urine formation process, EXCEPT: - Glomerular Filtration - Tubular Reabsorption - Tubuloglomerular feedback - Tubular Secretion
Tubuloglomerular feedback
34
A thickening of smooth muscle at the bladder urethra junction which keeps the urethra closed when urine is not being passed.
Internal urethral sphincter
35
Which of the following substances is/are reabsorbed by the nephrons of the kidney?
Glucose
36
Calcitriol, the active form of Vit. D, helps regulate calcium homeostasis, and erythropoietin stimulates the production of red blood cells. Both of these are related to which function of the kidneys.
Production of hormones
37
Three layers of tissue surrounding your kidneys are the following EXCEPT: - Renal fascia - Adipose capsule - Renal capsule - Renal corpuscle
Renal corpuscle
38
A condition when there is an inferior displacement or dropping of the kidney and occurs when it slips from its normal position because it is not securely held in place by adjacent organs or its covering of fat.
Nephroptosis
39
In some kidney diseases, glomerular capillaries are damaged and become so permeable that plasma proteins enter glomerular filtrate. This in turn results to a visible sign of these patients called
Edema
40
When blood concentration of glucose exceeds 200 mg/mL, the renal symporters cannot work fast enough to reabsorb all the glucose that enters the glomerular filtrate. This results to some glucose remaining in the urine in a condition known as
Glucosuria
