B5-037 Renal Physiology II Flashcards
main area where a lot of reabsorption occurs
proximal tubule
70% of the ultrafiltrate
second stage for reabsorption
descending loop of Henle
capillaries of the second capillary bed of the portal system of the nephron
peritubular capillaries
path through the cell
transcellular
path between cells, across zona occludens
paracellular
all salt and water transport in the proximal tubule depends on the gradient generated by
Na/K/ATPase
damage of […] will greatly impair the reabsorptive function of the proximal tubule
Na/K/ATPase
segment involving concentrating or diluting urine
loop of Henle
secondary place for sodium reabsorption
ascending loop of Henle
important transporter at apical side of cells in ascending loop of Henle
Na/K/2Cl
furosemide inhibits […], impairing salt reabsorption in the loop of Henle
NKCC
causes diuresis
[…] is key for the capacity of the kidney to concentrate the urine
transporter
NKCC
loop of Henle
main hormone for regulation of sodium reabsorption
aldosterone
main target of aldosterone effects
sodium transport mechanism
(Na channel + NaKATPase)
distal tubule
increases sodium and water reabsorption, causing an increase in intravascular volume and high blood pressure
hormone
aldosterone
distal tubule
where in the nephron does aldosterone primarily exert its effects?
distal tubule
regulates water reabsorption in the collecting ducts
hormone
ADH
ADH binds to V2 receptors in the collecting duct causing the
phosphorylation of aquaporin2
higher expression of […] at the apical membrane of the collecting duct cells mediates water reabsorption
aquaporin2
low levels of ADH lead to intense
polyuria
less phosphorylation of AQ2
glucose and amino acids are absorbed 100% in the
proximal tubule
most Mg2+ is reabsorbed in the
loop of Henle
most important cation in determination of ECF osmolarity
sodium
main organ that maintains natriemia
kidney
thiazides inhibit […] in the distal tubule
NaCl costransporter
water not reabsorbed, more urine volume
apical sodium channel in collecting tubule
ENac
apical side transporters of proximal tubule
4
- Na-glucose cotransporter
- Na-amino acid co transporter
- NaH antiporter
- Na Channels
