Which of the following is an example of autoregulation of kidney function? a. The RAAS regulates Na " by secreting renin when blood pressure or blood volume decreases. b. The ADH system regulates water balance by decreasing water reabsorption and increasing excretion of salt. c. Receptors in the juxtaglomerular apparatus of the distal convoluted tubule detect drops in blood pressure and cause a higher filtration rate. d. ANF is released by the kidney to increase renin release. e. Angiotensin lowers blood pressure by constricting arterioles.

Which of the following correctly describes a part of kidney function? a. Collecting ducts dilute urine because they are permeable to salt but not water. b. In the ascending loop of Henle, $\mathrm{Na}^{+}$ and $\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ move into the tubules because the osmolarity of the filtrate is increased. c. The descending loop of Henle receives filtrate from the ascending loop. d. The distal convoluted tubule pumps water into the tubule by active transport. e. The renal pelvis receives urine from the collecting ducts and carries it to the ureters.
Which part of the nephron is responsible for most of the difference in mammals between the glomerular filtration rate and the urine production rate? a. The glomerulus $b$. The proximal convoluted tubule c. The loop of Henle $d .$ The distal convoluted tubule $e .$ The collecting duct
Identify what aldosterone regulates, and explain how it is stimulated. a. Aldosterone regulates the amount of water excreted by the kidneys and causes direct water reabsorption from the kidney tubules. It is stimulated by decreased water concentration in blood, or increased amounts of blood potassium. b. Aldosterone regulates sodium concentrations in urine, sweat, the pancreas, and saliva. It is stimulated by decreased blood sodium ion concentrations, blood volume, or blood pressure, or increased amounts of blood potassium. c. Aldosterone regulates calcium concentrations in urine, saliva and the pancreas. It is stimulated by decreased blood calcium ion concentrations, blood pressure, blood volume, or increased amounts of blood potassium. d. Aldosterone regulates blood glucose levels by stimulating the breakdown of glycogen to glucose. It is stimulated by decreased concentrations of glucose levels in blood, blood volume, or blood pressure.
