During the concentration of urine, the medullary interstitial osmolality is increased by all the following except:
1. | Solute reabsorption in the ascending limb of the loop of Henle |
2. | Sodium reabsorption in the distal tubule |
3. | Urea reabsorption from the proximal tubule |
4. | Urea recycling between the loop of Henle and the collecting duct |

The collecting ducts become permeable to water and urea due to:
1. Aldosterone | 2. Atrial natriuretic peptide |
3. Renin | 4. ADH (vasopressin) |

Identify the correct statement regarding human kidney function if ADH is not secreted in the body:
1. | Urine will be isoosmotic with plasma. |
2. | PCT will not be able to reabsorb water and sodium. |
3. | The collecting ducts have very low permeability to water. |
4. | The distal tubules secrete water. |

The urine examination of a person suspected of a kidney disorder is most likely to show the presence of:
1. Urea | 2. Potassium |
3. Albumins | 4. Glucose |
Total body water in humans makes up between 45 to 75% of total body weight. About two thirds of this is:
1. Extracellular fluid
2. Interstitial fluid
3. Intracellular fluid
4. Plasma
Intracellular fluid:
1. has a lower concentration of potassium than extracellular fluid.
2. has a lower concentration of sodium ions than extracellular fluid.
3. does not remain in osmotic equilibrium.
4. has a higher concentration of calcium ions than extracellular fluid.
The principal cation in the extracellular fluid is:
1. Ca2+ | 2. K+ |
3. Mg2+ | 4. Na+ |
Increased stretching of the atrial wall, due to increased atrial blood volume, stimulates the release of:
1. aldosterone | 2. ADH |
3. atrial natriuretic hormone | 4. renin |

Serum potassium concentrations are the most potent stimulator of secretion of:
1. Aldosterone
2. Angiotensin II
3. ADH
4. Atrial natriuretic hormone
