Answer to Question 1

ANS:
20

From the RPF, 20 (approximately 120-140 milliliters per minute) is filtered at the glomerulus and passes into the Bowman's capsule.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Hydronephrosis occurs due to dilation of the renal pelvis and calyces proximal to a blockage. Hydronephrosis is not the result of a decrease in renal blood flow, or peritubular capillary pres-sure, or stimulation of the antidiuretic hormone.
