Question

TRUE OR FALSE:

1) Each renal corpuscle receives one efferent arteriole, which divides into the tangled capillary network called the gloumerulus.

2) When blood flows intothe glomerular capillaries more rapidly, glomerular filtration rate decreases.

3) Normally, 100% of the filtered glucose, amino acids, lactic acid, and other possibly useful metabolites are reabsorbed in the distal convoluted tubules.

4) Aldosterone, secreted by the adrenal cortex, brings about increased sodium ion and water reabsorption by the principal cells.

Explanation / Answer

1. False as it is the afferent at arteriole that divides to form glomerulus.

2. False. When blood flows into the glomerular capillary more rapidly the glomerular filtration rate increases.

3. False. All of these useful metabolites are absorbed in the proximal convoluted tubules.

4. True
