24. Measurements are made of the renal tubular fluid concentration of various substances along the length of the proximal tubule and plotted as the tubular fluid to plasma concentration ratio (TF/P). As these substances are reabsorbed along with water, the following profiles are obtained (All substances are freely filtered at the glomerulus, the 1 at the glomerulus.) Glucose is represented by which of the following curves? 3.0

1. 3 of the following are true of the Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System (RAAS) A. The JG cells are located at the distal collecting tubule B. The Juxtaglomerular cells (JG cells) are modified smooth muscles in the afferent arteriole C. The Macula densa detects osmolality of the filtrate D. The Macula densa is made up of tall columnar cells 2. 2 of the following are true of the RAAS responding to a decrease in Na in the filtrate A. Macula densa detects the decrease in osmolality B. JG cells are stimulated by Macula densa through tight junctions C. Aldosterone stimulates principal cells of collecting tubule to reabsorb water D. Aldosterone reabsorbs Na and by osmotic forces increase fluid in the extracellular compartment 3. 2 of the following are true of the loop of Henle A.

The presence of either protein or glucose in a urinalysis is abnormal but they end up in the urine for different reasons. For each of these molecules, briefly describe where in the urine production process (i.e., glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption or tubular secretion) the problem occurs, and why it might happen. please help
Renal tubules cannot reabsorb HCO3–; yet HCO3–concentration in the tubular fluid falls while in the blood plasma itrises. Explain this apparent contradiction.
A patient comes to your medical practice with complaints of low urine output (not peeing). You use inulin to calculate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) using the following information: Plasma level (P – constant over 24 hours): 10 mg/mL inulin. Urine sample (U): 144 mg inulin/mL urine. Urine formation (V): 10 mL/min. Using the fromula GFR=V ✕ U/P, you calculate a GFR of ... A) 144mL/min.. B) 14400 mL/min. C) 144 min./mL. D) 144 g mannitol/min.
A 65-kg man is participating in a research study for which it is necessary to know the volumes of his body fluid compartments. To measure these volumes, the man is injected with 100 mci (millicurie) of H0 and 500 mg of mannitol. During a 2-hour equilibration period, he excretes 10% of the H,0 and 10% of the mannitol in his urine. Following equilibration, the concentration of H,0 in plasma is 0.213 mCi/100 ml and the concentration of mannitol is 3.2 mg/100 mL. • What is his total body water, his ECF volume, and his ICF volume? is the man's total body water appropriate for his weight?
