a) Two capillary beds
b) Portal vein
c) Two arterioles
d) A and C
e) A B and C
3. Below are four process involved in ‘’ ‘“
Reabsorption: movement from tubular lumen to blood
Filtration: Movement from glomerulus to lumen of tubule
Excretion: movement from tubular lumen to external environment
Secretion: movement from peritubular capillaries to lumen of tubule
4. Place the following blood vessels that carry blood within a juxtamedullary nephron in the
order in which blood passes through them
5. Whether a molecule is filtered at the glomerulus depends on…
a) The presence of specific carriers for that molecule on glomerular capillary endothelium
b) Plasma vasopressin concentrations
c) It’s size and charge
d) A and C
e) A, B and C
6. All of the following are freely filtered at the glomerulus EXCEPT
a) Plasma proteins
b) Glucose
c) Erythrocytes
d) Potassium
, e) A and C
7. The main force driving glomerular filtration is the
