1516016434Bicarbonate diuretic? - whats the example?A diuretic that selectively increases sodium bicarbonate excretion. e. g. carbonic anhydrase inhibitor0
1516016435Diluting segment? What are the examples?A segment of the nephron that removes solute without water. The thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle and the distal convoluted tubule are both diluting segments.1
1516055415Hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis? Results from?diminished bicarbonate concentration, and a decrease in blood pH. Typical result of bicarbonate diuresis2

1516055421The Kidneys do what?1. secrete renin to regulate blood pressure 2. secrete erythropoietin which stimulates red blood cell production 3.produce Calcitriol (active form of vitamin D) to help maintain bone homeostasis8
1516055422What happens as Filtrate Travels Through the Nephron?its Composition Changes9
1516055423What do nephrons do?Filtrate same composition as plasma minus large proteins in Bowman's capsule10
1516055424Nephron absorption occurs how? And what is reabsorbed?some substances in the filtrate pass through the walls of the neprhon and into the blood, most of the water in the filtrate is reabsorbed, glucose, amino acids, sodium, chloride, calcium and bicarbonate are reabsorbed11
1516055425Nephron secretion occurs how? What is secreted?some substances pass from the blood through the walls of the nephron and become part of the filtrate, potassium, phosphate, hydrogen and ammonium ion and many organic acids are secreted into the filtrate12
