Production of urine to modify plasma makeup is the result of ________

A. filtration

B. absorption

C. secretion

D. filtration, absorption, and secretion

Answer Explanation:

The production of urine to modify plasma makeup is the result of glomerular filtration, tubular absorption, and secretion. Glomerular filtration is the first step of making urine; a process where the kidney filter excess fluid and water products out of the blood in the urine collecting tubules of the kidney, to be eliminated in the body. Tubular reabsorption involves the removal of water and solutes from the tubular fluid which is returned to the circulating blood; while secretion involves the removal of wastes from the body into the bladder, then out through the urethra. 

Therefore, the Correct Answer is D.

  • Q #1: Blood filtrate is captured in the lumen of the ________

    A. glomerulus

    B. Bowman's capsule

    C. calyces

    D. renal papillae

    Answer Explanation

  • Q #2: Which of the following is the structure through which blood exits the glomerulus?

    A. Afferent arteriole

    B. Efferent arteriole

    C. Distal tubule

    D. Proximal tubule

    Answer Explanation

    Afferent arteriole supply blood to the kidney from the renal artery while efferent arterioles are blood vessels through which blood exits the glomerulus.

    Distal tubule is responsible for regulating extracellular fluid volume and electrolyte balance while the proximal tubule is responsible for reabsorbing macromolecules, filtered sodium ions, and low molecular weight proteins.
