If the kidneys excrete more sodium ion, then blood may become: 1) hyperosmolar due to more sodium ions 2) hyperosmolar due to fewer sodium ions 3) hyposmolar due to fewer sodium ions 4) hyposmolar due to more sodium ions

Step 1
2) A decrease in the concentration of sodium ions in the blood would result in a decrease in osmolarity (osmolarity refers to the concentration of solutes in a solution). 3) Show more…

Aldosterone affects sodium balance by impacting sodium reabsorption in the distal nephron. If MAP and/or GFR falls, how will this system function? Group of answer choices: a) Increased levels of aldosterone add epithelial sodium channels (ENaCs) to the luminal membrane of the collecting duct. b) Increased levels of aldosterone remove epithelial sodium channels (ENaCs) from the luminal membrane of the collecting duct. c) Decreased levels of aldosterone allow increased expression of epithelial sodium channels (ENaCs) in the collecting duct. d) Decreased levels of aldosterone decrease expression of epithelial sodium channels (ENaCs) in the collecting duct.

If angiotensin II levels increase: water reabsorption in the kidney would increase sodium ions would be reabsorbed in the kidney blood volume would increase all of these would occur in response to an increase in angiotensin II levels

Proper functioning of the human kidney requires considerable active transport of sodium in the kidney tubules. If these active transport mechanisms were to stop completely, how would urine production be affected? A greater-than-normal volume of hypertonic urine would be produced. A less-than-normal volume of hypotonic urine would be produced. No urine would be produced. A greater-than-normal volume of isotonic urine would be produced. A less-than-normal volume of isotonic urine would be produced.
