Document Summary
Midterm 2 covers lecture 10 till lecture on nov 16th. Which of the following solutes would exhibit the lowest rcr: inulin, glucose or urea renal clearance ratio describes the appearance of the solute in urine vs in filtrate. Completely reabsorbed so no glucose should appear in the urine. Should be 0, unless you have uncontrolled diabetes. List the structural features of the renal corpuscle that are related to its function as the site of filtration. Single layer capillary, capillary bed for high sa for filtration to occur. Afferent arteriole to the renal corpuscle is short and low resistance. Efferent arteriole leading out is thin and windy --> high resistance. To push out everything in the blood except for the proteins and blood cells. Endothelial basement membrane that they sit on is complete. They want to keep as much water because they live in a dehydrating environment. They got rid of the glomerulus --> aglomerular fish.
