5: reg of osmolarity and na Flashcards
the rate of ADH secretion is a major determining factor for __ ___
urine concentration
throughout the proximal tubule (beginning, end, plasma), the osmolarity of filtrate remains ___
isotonic (300mOsm/L)
water is reabsorbed by osmosis in the ___ segment of the loop of henle
descending
tubular fluid becomes more ___ as it travels up the ascending segment of the loop of henle
dilute
dilute fluid is found in the ___ part of the distal tubule, while additional reabsorp of Na occurs in the __ part of the distal tubule & collecting ducts
early
late
two basic requirements for forming a concentrated urine:
- high level of __
- high ___ in medulla tissue
ADH
osmolarity
__ __ is how we create a hyperosmotic renal medullary interstitial fluid
countercurrent mechanism
while creating a hyperosmotic renal medullary interstitium, the repetitive reabsorption of NaCl and continued inflow of new Na is called the __ __
countercurrent multiplier
in the cortical collecting tubule, when there is HIGH ADH, tubules become ___ to water, while LOW ADH causes them to be ___ to water
permeable
impermeable
when collecting ducts become perm to water, the high osmolarity causes the urine to reach ___ w/ the medullary interstium, creating a v concentrated urine
equilibrium
if the kidneys can’t maintain balance, ___ adjustments will be made, such as changing BP, circ hormones, SNS
systemic
to maintain balance, there are tradeoffs such as in kidney damage:
- impaired __ excretion
- leads to __ & __ imbalance->cardiac insuff->death w/i days
sodium
electrolyte
fluid
increased BP raising urinary volume excretion is called:
pressure diuresis
the raise in sodium excretion that occurs w/ elevated BP is called
pressure natriuresis
as long as the __ ___ mechanism works, the bod will handle an increase in fluid and salt intake w/ little system adjustments (pt’l bad)
pressure diuresis
salt sensitive indv see a marked increase in BP with:
very little salt intake
non-salt sensitive indv see increases in BP after:
many years of high Na intake
kidneys are highly innervated by ___ fibers, which are activated by extensive ___ in blood vol
sympathetic
decrease
sympathetic nerve activity signals to the kidneys that they need to hold onto (2):
salt & fluid
one of bod’s most powerful controllers of sodium excretion, but generally has little impact on extracellular or blood vol
angiotensin II
increased aldosterone causes increased __ & water reabsorption in the cortical collecting tubules as well as increased ___ excretion
sodium
potassium
increased ADH increases reabsorp of ___ while maintaining excretion of ___ (creating a concentrated urine)
fluid
sodium
decreased ADH reduces the reabsorp of ___, and helps to decrease the ___ vol in the bod
fluid
fluid
hormone that is released as a result of stretch receptors in the cardiac atria that eventually acts to increase GFR & decrease tubular reabsorption of Na
