Question

8. The filtration membrane consists of capillary endothelium, porous membrane, and the (which contain filtration slits). This filtration membrane permits (large or small) molecules to be filtered 9. Proximal tube: The simple cuboidal cells of the proximal tubule are called cells for because they contain numerous microvilli. The microvilli increase the reabsorption. The proximal tubule cells are highly permeable to water and many solutes. The permit the movement of water between the cells. 10. Loop of Henle: The thin descending limb of the loop of Henle is highly permeable to but not to The thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle is highly permeable to but not to 11. The thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle runs back between the afferent and efferent arterioles as they enter and leave the glomerular (Bowman's) capsule. The jaaxtaglomeradar apparatus consists of the , cells of the tubule and the (modified smooth muscle) cells of the afferent arteriole. cells serve as baroreceptors sensitive to blood pressure within the arteriole. cells monitor and respond to changes in the osmolarity (or electrolyte composition) of the filtrate in the tubule. 12. After the juxtaglomerular apparatus, the tubule becomes the distal twbule, which merges with the cortical collecting duct. The cortical collecting duct contains two functional types of cells: cells-hormones regulate their permeability to water and solutes. cells-secrete hydrogen ions for acid-base regulation. 13. The medullary collecting duct is composed of cells. Their permeabilit toands hormonally regulated

Explanation / Answer

Answere: the text filled in blank spaces are highlighted

8. The filteration membrane consists of fenestrated capillary endothelium, porous glomorular basement membrane and the podocytes (which contains filteration slits).

9. Proximal tubule: the simple cuboidal cell of proximal tubulei s called brush border cells because they contain numerous microvilli. The microvilli increase the luminal surface area for resorption.

10. Loop of henle: the thin descending limb of the loop of henle is highly permeable to water but not to ions and urea.

The thick ascending loop of henle is highly permeable to ions but not to water.

11. The thick ascending limb of the loop of henle runs back between the afferent and efferent arterioles as they enter and leaves the glomerular capsule. The juxtaglomerular apparatus consists of the macula densa cells of tubule and juxtaglomerular (modified smooth muscle c) cells of the afferent arteriole,

12. After the juxtaglomerular apparatus, the tubule becomes the distal tubule, which merges with the cortical collecting duct. The cortical collecting duct contains two functionaö types of cells: Principal cells-hormone regulate their permeability to water and solutes.

Intercalated cells-secrete hydrogen ions for acid based regulation

13. The medullary collecting duct is composed of principal cells. Their permeabillllity to water and urea is hormonally regulated
