102814 physio review Flashcards
ICF is what percent of body weight?
40%
ECF is what percent of body weight?
20%
osmolarity of ECF and ICF in the body is
280-300 mOsm/liter
what does glomerular filtrate contain in terms of salt and organic substance concentration?
same concentration of most salts and organic substances found in plasma
what are the physical forces causing filtration by glomerular capillaries?
glomerular hydrostatic pressure
glomerular colloid osmotic pressure
Bowman’s capsule hydrostatic pressure
GFR is usually
125 ml/min
efferent plasma flow is usually
575 ml/min
what are the determinants of glomerular filtration rate?
ultrafiltration coefficient and driving force
ultrafiltration coefficient
product of hydraulic permeability (Lp) and surface area of the glomerular capillary membranes
in diabetes mellitis, why is ultrafiltration coefficient reduced?
because glomeruli become sclerotic and there are less glomeruli contributing to the total glomerular capillary area
as arterial pressures change, what happens to renal blood flow? to GFR?
they stay the same within 80-150 mmHg of arterial pressure. this is because of autoregulation of renal blood flow and GFR
what happens to urine output with increases in arterial pressure?
it increases (due to pressure natriuresis. the mechanism for pres natr is unknown)
how can GFR and RBF be autoregulated?
myogenic mechanism
tubuloglomerular feedback
what is the ultimate effect of macula densa feedback in the case of decreased arterial pressure?
decrease afferent arteriolar resistance
increase efferent arteriolar resistance
NE’s effect on GFR
decreases GFR
epinephrine’s effect on GFR
decreases GFR
