6 - Renal II Flashcards
True/False: Sodium and water undergo tubular secretion.
False; DO NOT therefore Amount excreted = Amount filtered - Amount reabsorbed
Part of nephron, where most sodium and water reabsorption occurs.
Proximal tubule
Part of nephron, main hormonal control of sodium and water reabsorption.
Distal tubule and collecting duct
[Sodium/Water] reabsorption: Active transport/Requires renal energy/Carrier-mediated/Occurs against a concentration gradient
Sodium
[Sodium/Water] reabsorption: Diffusion/Depends on (i.e. is coupled to) reabsorption of sodium.
Water
Methods by which sodium move from the lumen of the tubule and into the cells forming the tubule walls.
Cotransport with glucose or AA, countertransport with hydrogen ions, or via diffusion through sodium channels (ADD PICTURE FROM PP)
As sodium is removed from the lumen of the tubule, water concentration […] in the tubular fluid thus […] osmolarity in the tubular fluid.
Increases; Decreasing (i.e. the opposite is the case in the nearby interstitial fluid)
Establishes a concentration gradient for water.
Active transport of sodium
As water and sodium moves into the interstitial fluid it moves via […] into the peritubular capillaries as the final step of reabsorption.
Bulk flow
Part of nephron where water permeability IS regulated.
Collecting duct/Late distal tubule
Posterior pituitary hormone, stimulates the insertion of AQUAPORINS into the tubular cell luminal membranes.
Antidiuretic hormone/Vasopressin
Increase in ADH = […] in urine.
Decrease (i.e. urine will become more concentrated)
Occurs when pituitary fails to release ADH or kidneys do not respond to ADH; patient can produce 25 L urine/day.
Diabetes inspidus
Increase in urine production but no increase in solute excretion.
Water diuresis
Increase urine flow due to increase in solute excretion.
Osmotic diuresis
Having an osmolarity equal to that of normal ECF
Isoosmotic (i.e. 300 milliosmoles per liter)
Having an osmolarity GREATER than normal ECF.
Hyperosmotic (i.e. more concentrated)
Having an osmolarity less than normal ECF.
Hypoosmotic (i.e. less concentrated)
Normal daily excretion of urea, sulfate, phosphate, and other wastes and ions.
600 mOsmol
Volume or urine that MUST be excreted per day.
Obligatory water loss (i.e. 0.46 L/day)
Receptors for the reflexes that control body sodium.
Baroreceptors (i.e. of the cardiovascular system) and sensors in the kidney (i.e. monitor filtered load of sodium)
Major determinant of ECF volume.
Sodium
