Q
A

lies in the blood supply thing

65% of blood coming through renal portal supply

blood can be shunted into kidney

blood returing from legs has two options depending on what the renal portal valve does

Q

(Renal Portal Valve)

  1. Located in what vein?

(Autonomic innervation)

2-3. What are the two types of receptors?

A
  1. common iliac vein
  2. cholinergic - muscarninc receptors
  3. adrenergic - alpha 2 receptors

Q

(Renal Portal Valve)

  1. at rest, valve is closed or open? maintained under what influence?

venous blood diverted through tubular circulation

returns to systemic circulation via what and what?

  1. During fight or flight - valve closed or open?

what happens to blood?

A
  1. closed; cholinergic

caudal mesenteric vsin and intervertebral sinuses

  1. open

blood is shunted directly to the vena cava

(under adrenergic circulation)

Q

(Blood supply to the avian kidney)

  1. what percent of cariac output?
  2. what percent of that is arterial? venous via portal system?
  3. how much of blood passes through glomeruli for filtration?
  4. so what becomes the main mechanism of excretory fuction (N)?
A
  1. 10-15%
  2. 30%; 65%
  3. 1/3
  4. tubular secretion
17
Q

(Urea vs. Uric Acid)

  1. mammalian nitrogen disposal = ?
  2. avian nitrogen disposal = ?
A
  1. urea
  2. uric acid
18
Q

(Uric Acid)

  1. nitrogenous waste (NH3) excretion pathway (as opposed to urea)
  2. produced primarily where?
  3. secreted in what?
  4. is it soluble in blood at normal conc and body temps?
  5. precipitates under what conditions?
A
  1. in liver (energetically expensive)
  2. poximal tubule (hgh conc in colloidal form in lumen)

–> urates (salts of uric acid)

moved by peristalsis down ureter

  1. yes
  2. high conc or cooling

(secretion not affected by dehydration (i.e. no pre-renal azotemia)

19
Q

(Advantages of Uricotelicism)

  1. combines with proteins to form what?
  2. conserves what?
  3. Allow what inside egg?
A
  1. insoluble Urates
  2. water
  3. development inside egg - prevents accumulation of toxic metabolic products
20
Q

(Physiology)

  1. arterial bllod flows through what?
  2. venous blood portal supply flow though what?
A
  1. glomeruli (filtration) - 30%
  2. tubular capillary beds (secretion, reabsorption) 70%
21
Q
A
22
Q

(overall kidney regulation - 4 factors)

1-4. what are the four factors?

A
  1. renin-angiotensin system - aldosterone
  2. AVT (arginine vasotocin) - Avian ADH
  3. autonomic
  4. autoregulation

Q

(Extra-renal Water-balance)

(cloaca/colon)

  1. do what?

filtered water from what?

ingestinal water with what?

(Nasal Salt glands - marine birds)

  1. allows excretion of what?
A
  1. water recovery
  2. kidney
  3. ingesta
  4. NaCL consumed in salt water that is beyond ability of kidney to excrete
26
Q

(Clinically)

(utility of mammalian type assessments)

  1. urea (BUN) usuable?
  2. creatinine useable?
  3. urinanalysis: minimally useful because of what?

(Uric acid is the primary means (<5 mg/dl) - of measuring kidney function

A
  1. no
  2. no
  3. post-renal processing (can examine for glucose, sediments, casts, wbcs)
27
Q

carnivorous birds get increase in uric acid production because their is nitrogen in what they eat (get post-prandial elevation)

need to wait a while before taking this value in raptors

A
