2. Glucose is not usually found in the urine of a healthy person because:

  • It is not filtered through the glomerulus
  • It is cleared by the juxtaglomerular cells before the blood reaches the glomerulus
  • It is fully reabsorbed by the proximal tubule
  • The colloid osmotic pressure exerts a force retaining it in the blood

  • Urinary bladder, ureters, urethra
  • Urinary bladder, urethra, ureters
  • Ureters, urinary bladder, urethra
  • Urethra, urinary bladder, ureters

4. What best describes the process whereby blood pressure forces water and other dissolved substances from the blood into the glomerular capsule?

  • Glomerular filtration
  • Tubular reabsorption
  • Tubular secretion
  • Nephritic excretion

5. The Loop of Henle is responsible for the reabsorption of:
