Why do water and small molecules move from the glomerulus into the filtrate?Multiple Choicediffusion down the concentration gradientglomerular blood pressureactive transportsecretiondiffusion against the concentration gradient

In the kidney, very large volumes of water and solutes are filtered across the filtration membrane because:W) plasma proteins exert an osmotic effectX) filtrate in the space of the Bowman's capsule exerts a high hydrostatic pressureY) glomerular capillary endothelium is thick endotheliumZ) glomerular hydrostatic pressure (blood pressure) is highQuestion 46Select one:a.if only W, X and Y are correctb.if only W and Y are correctc.if only X and Z are correctd.if only Z is correcte.if all are correct

What forces filtration at the glomerular capsule?Multiple choice question.The abundance of surface areaAn increase in glomerular blood pressureThe pH difference across the filtration membraneThe absence of a brush boarder

Filtrate is the fluid that moves from the ______ to the ______.Multiple choice question.glomerulus; Bowman's capsuledistal tubule; peritubular capillariesminor calyx; major calyx

What is filtration as it occurs in capillaries?Multiple choice question.the active transport of large molecules into a cell through a protein channelthe accumulation of plaque in a vesselthe movement of molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentrationthe forced movement of compounds through a membrane via hydrostatic pressure

The juxtaglomerular apparatus regulates the filtration rate by __________Blank.Multiple Choicecausing increased osmotic pressure in the glomerular capsulecausing vasodilation of the peritubular capillariescausing vasoconstriction of the peritubular capillariescausing vasoconstriction of both the afferent and efferent arterioles
