Question

24 3 points In the presence of a diuretic (es. caffeine), the urine becomes: A. Hypotonic B. Hypertonic C. Isotonic D. Osmotonic 25 3 points Substances SECRETED by the renal tubules would include: A. Potassium B. Hydrogen ions C. Ammonium ions. D. Urea & creatinine. E. All of the above 26 3 points The diameter of the efferent arteriole is reduced by parasympathetic stimulation while the diameter of the afferent arteriole is increased. The result is: A Bp in the glomerulus is reduced. B. Bp in the glomerulus is increased, Filtration rate is reduced. D. GBHP is low

Answer 1

24. Option A is correct. A. Hypotonic.

25. Option E is correct. E. All of the above.

26. Option A is correct. A Bp in the glomerulus is reduced.

24. In the presence of a diuretic (ex. caffeine), the urine becomes Hypertonic. Diuretics are substances that promote urine production and cause the body to lose excess water and salt, resulting in an increase in urine volume and a decrease in blood volume.

25. Substances SECRETED by the renal tubules would include: Potassium, hydrogen ions, ammonium ions, urea, and creatinine. These substances are filtered out of the blood and passed into the urine by the kidneys.

26. The diameter of the efferent arteriole is reduced by parasympathetic stimulation, while the diameter of the afferent arteriole is increased. The result is Bp in the glomerulus is reduced. Parasympathetic stimulation causes the release of acetylcholine, which constricts the efferent arterioles, reducing the pressure in the glomerulus and increasing the filtration rate.
