1. Why are blood cells and proteins not a normal constituent of urine?
2. What happens if the TM for glucose is exceeded in the PCT?
3. Where in the urinary tract (not kidneys) would the following shed cells have originated?
Squamous (more common):
Transitional:
4. The specific gravity of pure water is 1.000. Urine Specific Gravities range from 1.001-1.035. With regards to the solute, how does urine with a specific gravity of 1.006 differ from urine with a specific gravity of 1.024?
5. Casts are formed in the collecting duct and can be acellular or cellular. When filtrate flow is low, proteins and cells accumulated and concentrated in the tubules. When the flow increases the casts are pushed out of the tubules.
Decreased urine pH contributes to the formation of casts. Explain why a decreased filtrate pH promotes cast formation.
