BIOL 261 FINAL CHP 16 Flashcards
What 3 pressures contribute to a +10 mmHg filtration pressure in the renal corpuscle:
- glomerular hydrostatic pressure (55 mm Hg)
- colloid osmotic pressure (30 mm Hg)
- capsular hydrostatic pressure (15 mm Hg)
Why do we need to regulate GFR?
- if its too high, needed substances cannot be reabsorbed quickly enough and are lost in the urine
- if too low, everything is reabsorbed, including wastes that are normally disposed of
If we change MAP how does that affect GFR?
- GFR stays constant
- JG apparatus releases renin **
How is GFR regulated under myogenic response?
- as BP increases-> GFR increases-> afferent arteriole constricts->GFR decreases
- as BP decrease->GFR decreases->afferent arteriole dilates->increase in GFR
How is GFR regulated under tubuloglomerular regulation?
- if Na is high in DCT->GFR increases->afferent arteriole constricts
- if Na is low in DCT->GFR decreases->afferent arterioles vasodilate
How is GFR regulated under ANS?
- sympathetic NS (Epi + NE)-> vasoconstricts
- angiotensin 2->vasoconstrictor afferent arteriole
When BP changes, _______ stays the same regardless.
Filtration rate
Renin released from JG apparatus when: (2)
- aff. art. MAP drops
- macula densa cells sense low plasma osmolarity or LOW Na
- increased urine output
What is reabsorbed in the PCT?
- amino acids
- Na
- glucose
- bicarbonate
What is secreted in the PCT?
- antibioitics
- creatinine
- uric acid
What is reabsorbed at the DCT and what hormone is responsible for that?
sodium-aldosterone; calcium-PTH
How is glucose handled in the PCT?
Reabsorbed
Ascending loop of henle is permeable to:
Na, impermeable to water
What is secreted in the DCT?
Urea and protons
Positive homeostatic feedback loop for blood osmolarity:
Stimulus: Decrease in Blood Osmolarity (overly hydrated)
Sensor: Osmoreceptors in hypothalamus
Integrator: Hypothalamus/ posterior pituitary gland
-Inhibits Antidiuretic Hormone-
Effector: Collecting ducts of nephron
Response: Decrease in aquaporin, decrease in H2O reabsorption, increase in urine output.
Result: Increase in blood osmolality
