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

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
