The nephron is a very crucial structure in the kidney’s ability to produce urine.
This quiz and review is part of a renal series. So, don’t forget to check out the other videos and
reviews in this series.

9. Which substance found in the filtrate is only filtered from the bloodstream by the glomerulus
and is not reabsorbed or secreted into the renal tubule? (Hint: this substance's rate of excretion
from the bloodstream allows us to determine the efficiency of the kidneys)
A. Urea
B. Creatinine
C. Hydrogen ions
D. Nitrogen
The answer is B.
10. In the Distal Convoluted Tubule, which hormone plays a role in sodium reabsorption which

D. Cortisol
The answer is C.
11. True or False: Calcium is reabsorbed in the loop of Henle under the influence of the
parathyroid hormone.
True
False
The answer is FALSE: Calcium is reabsorbed in the DISTAL CONVOLUTED TUBULE (NOT the
loop of Henle) under the influence of parathyroid hormone.
