Absorption sites in renal anatomy Flashcards
1
Q
- 65% of filtrate volume reabsorbed
- Na, glucose, AA, and other nutrients actively transported
- H20 and many ions follow passively
- H and NH4 secretion and HCO3 reabsorption to maintain blood PH
- some drugs are secreted
A
PCT

2
Q
- freely permeable to water
- not permeable to NaCl
- filtrate becomes increasingly concentrated as H2O leaves by osmosis
A
DLoH
b
3
Q
- impermeable to H20
- permeable to NaCl
- Filtrate becomes dilute as salt is reabsorbed
A
ALoH
c
4
Q
- Na reabsorption regulated by aldosterone
- Ca reabsorption regulated by PTH
- Cl contransported with Na

5
Q
- H20 reabsorption through aquaporins regulated by ADH
- Na reabsorption and K secretion regulated by aldosterone
- H and HCO3 reabsorption or secretion to maintain blood PH
- Urea reabsorption increased by ADH
