When a nurse is checking the urinalysis, plasma proteins should be absent from the urine because:
 
  a. all filtered proteins are subsequently reab-sorbed.
  b. the texture of the covering surrounding plasma proteins interferes with reabsorp-tion.
  c. filtered proteins are subsequently degrad-ed before elimination.
  d. the negative charge of the glomerular fil-tration membrane repels the plasma pro-teins.

Question 2

Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Like other capillary membranes, the glomerulus is freely permeable to water and relatively im-permeable to large colloids, such as plasma proteins. The molecule's size and electrical charge af-fect the permeability of substances crossing the glomerulus. Protein filtration is not as dependent on size, texture, or on degradation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The functional unit of the kidney is the nephron. The nephron does not serve the same function as the calyx, the collecting duct, or the pyramid.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
