10. The vasa recta

A. is located entirely within the medulla
B. flows immediately and next into the efferent arterioles
C. exits the medulla at the papilla
D. is located within the cortex and the medulla
E. has a plasma that is hypoosmotic throughout its course
A. is located entirely within the medulla

The plasma in the vasa recta will be hyperosmotic, similar to the interstitial fluid through which it passes in the medulla. When the blood exits the vasa recta, and enters the arcuate veins, it is still slightly hyperosmotic.
11. The tubular reabsorption of water is

A. passive
B. always high in the proximal tubule
C. high or low in the collecting duct depending on the level of vasopressin
D. inhibited by the presence of a non-reabsorbable solute in the lumen of the tubule
E. all of the above
11.E. all of the above
12. The secretion of renin is increased by

A. stretch of JG cells
B. increases in mean arterial blood pressure
C. increases in osmolality, regardless of changes in extra cellular volume
D. decreased ANP (atrial naturetic factor)
E. all of the above
D. decreased ANP (atrial naturetic factor)

Remember , that renin secretion will increase in conditions that require an increase in vasoconstriction and an increase in blood pressure. ANP inhibits renin secretion, so a decreased level of ANP would be the same as a decreased level of inhibition, and the renin secretion would increase. Recall that renin is secreted by the juxtaglomerular cells.Renin is the enzyme that is part of the cascade of events leading to angiotensin II, and will increase under conditions in which blood pressure, or extracellular volume, have decreased. Direct stretch of the JG cells will decrease renin (direct stretch is another result of high pressure) An increase in mean arterial blood pressure would decrease renin secretion, not increase it. Osmolality per se has no direct effect on renin.
13. Regarding aldosterone, which of the following is correct?

A. Aldosterone is secreted by the adrenal gland in response to angiotensin II
B. Both the proximal tubule and the collecting tubule are the primary sites of action of aldosterone.
C. Aldosterone directly stimulates the insertion of water channels into the apical membrane
D. Aldosterone levels decrease when renin levels increase
E. the primary effect of aldosterone is to increase Na+ reabsorption in the descending loop of Henle
A. Aldosterone is secreted by the adrenal gland in response to angiotensin II

Aldosterone enhances sodium reabsorption, particularly in the distal tubule and collecting duct. Note that normally, renin and aldosterone levels should either both increase, or both decrease, since renin catalyzes the formation of angiotensin II, and angiotenin II stimulates the secretion of aldosterone. The descending loop of Henle is water permeable, but not salt permeable.
14. Fluid in the distal convoluted tubule is hyposmotic to systemic plasma because

A. water is reabsorbed to a greater degree than salt within the proximal tubule
B. water is secreted into the tubule lumen by the descending loop of Henle
D. sodium reabsorption in the TALH is greater than water reabsorption in the descending loop of Henle
E. cells of the distal convoluted tubule always have a high permeability to water
D. sodium reabsorption in the TALH is greater than water reabsorption in the descending loop of Henle

The tubular fluid first becomes concentrated as it passes through the descending loop, but in the ascending loop sodium is actively transported to an even greater degree, and the fluid becomes hypoosmotic. Water and salt are both reabsorbed to the same degree by the proximal tubule, so this fluid is isosmotic compared to plasma.

Water is never secreted in the descending loop (B). ADH increases water permeability in the late distal tubule
The plasma in the vasa recta will be _______ similar to the interstitial fluid through which it passes in the medulla.
hyperosmotic,
When the blood exits the vasa recta, and enters the arcuate veins, it is still slightly _________.
hyperosmotic.
15. A feature common to cells of the proximal tubules and TALH is

A. prominent apical microvilli
B. basolateral Na+/K+ ATPase
C. Na+/glucose apical symport
D. apical Na+ channel
E. apical vasopressin-regulated aquaporins
B. basolateral Na+/K+ ATPase

This ATPase sets up the electrochemical gradient used by most of the transport systems in the tubules.
Microvilli are prominent only in the proximal tubules (review the functional anatomy). Glucose and other
nutrients are transported only in the proximal tubules.
16. Approximately 20% of the filtered sodium is reabsorbed in the

A. proximal tubule
B. thin descending loop of Henle
C. thick ascending loop of Henle
D. distal convoluted tubule
E. collecting duct
C. thick ascending loop of Henle
17. Diuretics that act on cells of the collecting tubule would

A. decrease the rate of glucose reabsorption in the collecting tubule
B. increase the rate of Na+ reabsorption in the collecting tubule
C. increase the rate of water reabsorption in the proximal tubule
D. have an insignificant effect on daily Na+ excretion
E. have no effect on Na+ reabsorption in the TALH
E. have no effect on Na+ reabsorption in the TALH


there should be no glucose in the tubular fluid once it leaves the proximal tubule, so glucose reabsorption
is unaffected by anything happening in the more distal segments (A). Diuretics act by blocking Na+ reabsorption, not increasing it (B). The transporter in the TALH is different from that in the collecting tubule, so the diuretic would not affect Na+ transport in the TALH, or water reabsorption in the proximal tubule. Although the percentage of filtered Na+ reabsorbed in the collecting duct may be small, the overall effect on Na+ excretion, and therefore ECF volume, is significant(D)

Diuresis and antidiuresis
18. Normally, the tonicity of the tubular fluid as it just enters the collecting tubule is

A. always hypotonic
B. either hypotonic or isotonic, but never hypertonic
C. always hypertonic
D. always isotonic
E. either hypertonic or hypotonic, but never isotonic
A. always hypotonic

The filtrate becomes diluted in the ascending loop of Henle, and by the time it reaches the late distal tubule, it has an osmolality less than that of plasma. From there, the filtrate can increase in osmolality, but only if Vasopressin/ ADH is present, and water is reabsorbed.
19. The cortical nephrons

A. do not have a thin loop of Henle
B. do not contribute to the formation of concentrated urine
C. do not contribute to filtration of the plasma
D. do not contribute solutes to the peritubular capillaries
E. do not have any Na+ transport in the TALH
B. do not contribute to the formation of concentrated urine

They have all of the segments of the nephron, they filter plasma in the glomerular capillaries, and retrun solutes to peritubular capillaries. The real difference is that they do not contribute to the formation of concentrated urine because the concentrating mechanism requires a hyperosmotic interstitium, created by solute transport in the
loops of Henle of the juxtamedullary nephrons.
20. All of the following contribute to the formation of a maximally concentrated urine except:

A. an increased rate of Na+ reabsorption in the proximal tubules
B. impermeability of the TALH to water
C. active transport of Na+ of the TALH
D. passive transport of Na+ across the thin ascending limb
E. apical aquaporins in the collecting duct in the presence of vasopressin
A. an increased rate of Na+ reabsorption in the proximal tubules

Reabsorption of Na+ in the proximal tubules is isoosmotic, so increases in this (as with angiotensin II) do not change the osmolarity of the tubular fluid.
21. If the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle were somehow made permeable to water:

A. medullary interstitial fluid osmolarity would increase
B. tubular fluid sodium concentration entering the distal tubule would decrease
C. the kidney could no longer produce urine with osmolarity substantially less than plasma osmolarity
D. all of the above
E. none of the above.
C. the kidney could no longer produce urine with osmolarity substantially less than plasma osmolarity

The filtrate becomes diluted in the ascending loop of Henle, and by the time it reaches the late distal tubule, it has an osmolality less than that of plasma. From there, the filtrate can increase in osmolality, but only if ADH is present, and water is reabsorbed. In the absence of ADH, and with no defect in sodium transport (normal aldosterone, etc.), the urine will be hyposomotic.
22. The fraction of filtered water that is reabsorbed in the proximal tubule

A. increases with ADH
B. decreases with ADH
C. is less than the fraction reabsorbed in the loop of Henle
D. is less than the fraction reabsorbed in the collecting ducts in the presence of ADH
E. is unchanged by ADH
E. is unchanged by ADH

ADH stimulates the synthesis of water channels in the late distal tubule and collecting ducts. The water
channels in the proximal tubules are always present (constitutive), and do not depend in any way on the level of ADH. Therefore, ADH will have no effect on the reabsorption of water in the proximal tubules, which is normally about 65-70%.
23. The condition of diuresis differs from that of diuresis in the osmolarity of

A. proximal tubules
B. distal convoluted tubules
C. collecting ducts
D. thin descending loop of Henle
E. all of the above
C. collecting ducts

The primary difference between diuresis and antidiuresis is in the osmolarity of the fluid in the collecting tubules.

Regulation of ECF volume and osmolarity
24, An increase in the osmolality of the extracellular fluid will:

A. stimulate the osmoreceptors and increase vasopressin secretion
B. stimulate the osmoreceptors and decrease vasopressin secretion
C. inhibit the osmoreceptors and increase vasopressin secretion
D. inhibit the osmoreceptors and increase vasopressin secretion
E. cause no change in vasopressin secretion
A. stimulate the osmoreceptors and increase vasopressin secretion

Remember that if vasopressin increases, then more water will be reabsorbed by the kidney. This would be an appropriate response to an increase in osmolarity. The osmoreceptors secrete vasopressin, and would be stimulated by an increase in osmolarity.
25. An individual is in steady state balance for Na+ (intake = excretion).

Na + intake - 100 mM/day
GFR - 170 L/day
Urine flow - 1 L/day
Plasma [Na+] – 145 mmol/L

Find:
Filtered load Na+: (mM/day)
Clearance Na+:
Fraction Na+ Excreted:
25.
Steady state balance (intake = excretion).

Filtered load
Na+ : 24650 mM/day

Filtered load = (GFR)* plasma[Na+]
= 170L/day * 145mM/L
= 24650 mM/day
Since the individual is in Na+ balance, the excretion rate must be 100mM/day (the same as the intake).

Clearance Na+ - 690 mL/day

Clearance = (urine excretion rate Na+)/ plasma [Na+]
= 100 mM/day / .145 mM/L
= 690 mL/day

Fraction Na+ excreted – 0.4%


Urine excretion rate = 100mM/day ( this comes from being in balance with the Na+ intake) Plasma[Na+] = given as 145mmol/L

Clearance = 690mL/day

Fraction Na+ excreted = (urine excretion rate Na+)/ Filtered load [Na+]

= 100 mM/day / 24650 mM/day
= 0.4%
26. An individual has just eaten a large bag of very salty Doritos, without drinking any water. The resulting
disturbance in body fluids would be best described as:

A. hypoosmotic dehydration
B. hyperosmotic overhydration
C. hyperosmotic dehyrdration
D. hypoosmotic overhydration
E. isoosmotic dehydration
B. hyperosmotic overhydration

The Doritos lunch is similar to the example on page 12 of your lecture notes – the addition of a hypertonic
solution (more salt than wate)r to the ECF. Since the total body solute has increased, but the total body water has not, the osmolality would increase (osmolality = total body solute/ total body water). There will also be a shift of water from intracellular to extracellular compartment.
27. For this same individual, what would be the effect on hormone secretion?

A. aldosterone would increase
B. vasopressin will increase
C. ANP will decrease
D. renin will increase
E. both ANP and aldosterone will increase
B. vasopressin will increase

There are two changes in this individual which will be regulated: the increased osmolarity will stimulate
the secretion of ADH, and stimulate thirst, so that more water will be reabsorbed, and the individual will also take in water. At the same time, the change in ECF volume will activate the multiple sensors related to ECF volume and blood pressure, resulting in a decrease in the renin-angiotentinII-aldosterone system. This, in turn, will tend to decrease Na+ reabsorption. Remember, that when looking at the effect of changes in ECF volume, you expect
renin, angiotensin II and aldosterone to all vary in the same direction – all either increase or decrease. The
exception to this is when you are looking at the effect of K+ on aldosterone specifically. You also expect ANP to vary in the opposite direction from the renin-angiotensinII-aldosterone system.
28. The decrease in Na+ reabsorption by proximal tubules that results from an increased mean arterial pressure is referred to as:

A. osmotic diuresis
B. autoregulation
C. GFR
D. tubulo-glomerular feedback
E. pressure natriuresis
E. pressure natriuresis

Pressure natriuresis is the decreased Na+ reabsorption with increasing hydrostatic pressure. The increased hydrostatic pressure reduces the net forces favoring reabsorption in the peritubular capillaries
29. An individual who cannot secrete ADH (diabetes insipidus) takes in 800mOsm solute/day. If the urine she can excrete has an osmolarity of 80mOsm/L, what is the minimum volume of urine she would need to excrete each day in order to be in steady state balance (solute intake = solute excretion)
29. 10L/day.
concentration = amt/volume,

so the volume needed would be (amt)/(concentration)
= 800mOsm/day / 80mOsm/L
= 10L/day.

This is a lot. People with this condition are usually advised to limit their salt intake.
30. A child has suffered for several days with vomiting and diarrhea, and has lost 2Kg of ECF fluid. Her plasma [Na+] is now 130mmol/L. What effect will this illness have on the following (compared to the period before the illness):

Aldosterone secretion: (↑, ↓, or no change)

ADH secretion: (↑, ↓, or no change)

Plasma [Na+]: (↑, ↓, or no change)

ANP secretion: (↑, ↓, or no change)

Sense of thirst: (↑, ↓, or no change)
Aldosterone secretion: Increase

The decrease in extracellular fluid will stimulate secretion of the renin-angiotensinII- aldosterone system,

ADH secretion: Increase

ADH secretion will increase because of the effect of angiotensin II and baroreceptive
stimulation.

Plasma [Na+]: No change

The fluid lost is extracellular, isotonic, and will therefore have no effect on plasma [Na]+, or plasma osmolality.

ANP secretion: Decrease

The decrease in extracellular fluid will stimulate secretion of the renin-angiotensinII- aldosterone system, and decrease the secretion of ANP

Sense of thirst: Decrease

The loss of isotonic fluid in diarrhea is similar in effect to the loss of plasma during hemorrhage.

In the addition of a hypertonic solution (more salt than water) to the ECF. What happens to total body solute, total body water, osmolality & shift of water?
Since the total body solute has increased, but the total body water has not, the osmolality would increase (osmolality = total body solute/ total body water). There will also be a shift of water from intracellular to extracellular compartment.
An individual has just eaten a large bag of very salty Doritos, without drinking any water. The resulting disturbance in body fluids would be best described as hyperosmotic overhydration
