3.   True or False: Drinking a lot of caffeine (coffee or cola) leads to an increased urine volume. This might result from a decrease in the radius of the efferent arteriole.

11.   True or False: In humans, glomerular capillaries can filter as much as 180 liters of filtrate in 24 hours.

19.   True or False: The renal system (the kidneys) is very important in regulating plasma osmolarity, plasma volume, and the body’s electrolyte balance.

27.   True or False: ADH affects water reabsorption by its effect on the glomerular arterioles.

35.   True or False: Renal processing of glucose that is filtered in the glomeruli is primarily by secretion back into the blood stream.

37.   True or False: The kidneys of a person with type 1 diabetes are able to synthesize extra glucose carrier molecules so that no glucose is excreted in urine.

is there any way you can help me out with these:

1.   What are two primary functions of the kidney?
2.   What are the components of the renal corpuscle?
3.   Starting at the renal corpuscle, list the components of the renal tubule as they are encountered by filtrate.
4.   Describe the effect of decreasing the afferent arteriole radius on glomerular capillary pressure and filtration rate.
5.   Describe the effect of increasing the afferent arteriole radius on glomerular capillary pressure and filtration rate.
6.   Describe the effect of decreasing the efferent arteriole radius on glomerular capillary pressure and filtration rate.
7.   Describe the effect of increasing the efferent arteriole radius on glomerular capillary pressure and filtration rate.
