The basic functions of human kidneys in the production of urine include all the following except:
| 1. Glomerular filtration | 2. Tubular reabsorption |
| 3. Tubular secretion | 4. Erythropoietin production |
The reabsorption, from the filtrate, of sodium, glucose and amino acids:
1. involves the Bowman's capsule
2. is restricted to the loop of Henle
3. occurs mainly in the proximal convoluted tubules
4. occurs mainly by osmosis

What is the mechanism of reabsorption of glucose in the proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron?
1. Diffusion, depending on plasma glucose concentration
2. An active transport process that is linked to sodium reabsorption
3. An active transport process that is linked to amino acid transport
4. Active transport with no link to the transport of any other substance

During the concentration of urine, the medullary interstitial osmolality is increased by all the following except:
| 1. | Solute reabsorption in the ascending limb of the loop of Henle |
| 2. | Sodium reabsorption in the distal tubule |
| 3. | Urea reabsorption from the proximal tubule |
| 4. | Urea recycling between the loop of Henle and the collecting duct |

Identify the correct statement regarding human kidney function if ADH is not secreted in the body:
| 1. | Urine will be isoosmotic with plasma. |
| 2. | PCT will not be able to reabsorb water and sodium. |
| 3. | The collecting ducts have very low permeability to water. |
| 4. | The distal tubules secrete water. |
