A patient exhibits excessive thirst and urination, producing large volumes of dilute urine. Blood tests reveal normal glucose levels. Which of the following is the MOST likely hormonal imbalance causing this condition?

What is the primary driving force for glomerular filtration?

Identify the true statements and choose the correct option accordingly

I. Blood vessel leading to the glomerulus is called efferent arteriole

II. Vasa-recta, peritubular capillaries and glomerulus, all have blood

III. Cortical nephrons have highly reduced vasa-recta

IV. Vasa-recta runs parallel to the Henle’s loop in the juaxta-medullary nephron

Which hormone plays a crucial role in regulating water reabsorption in the collecting duct?

The majority of reabsorption of water, glucose, and amino acids occurs in which part of the nephron?

The net pressure gradient that cause the fluid to filter out of the glomeruli in the capsule is

The process of removing unwanted substances from the blood into the filtrate is called:

Choose the correct ones

I. Afferent arteriole carries the blood away from the glomerulus toward renal vein

II. Efferent arteriole carries the blood to glomerulus

III. Podocytes form minute spaces (slit pores) for the filtration of blood into the Bowman’s capsule

IV. In Henle’s loop There are most reabsorption of the major substances from the glomerular filtrate

V. Distal convoluted tubule reabsorption K^+ ions into the surrounding blood capillaries

The correct option is

In which part of the nephron does the majority of water reabsorption occur, and under what primary hormonal influence?

Mammals have the ability to produce

Choose the correct ones: I. Vasa recta is lacking in cortical nephrons, II. Maximum number of nephrons in kidney are juxta-medullary type, III. DCT of many nephorns open into collecting tubule, IV. During summer when body loses lot of water by evaporation, the release of ADH is suppressed, V. When someone drinks lot of water, ADH release is suppressed, VI. Exposure to cold temperature stimulates ADH release, VII. An increase in glomerular blood flow stimulates formation of angiotensin II. The correct option is
