Nephron component
Juxtamedullary
Cortical nephron
Kidney’s functional unit
Nephron
Its function is to concentrate urine
Juxtamedullary
Its function is to remove waste and reabsorption
Cortical nephron
Increased specific gravity
Decrease insulin
Increase glucose
Diabetes mellitus
Decrease specific gravity
Decrease prod of ADH
Diabetes insipidus
It is produced by kidney
Urine
4 clearance test
Creatinine
Beta2-microglobulin
Cystatin C
Radioisotopes
Specific gravity of the final urine product
1.010
It measures only the number of particles in a solution
Osmolality
Two major function of tubular secretion
Eliminating waste products
Acid-base balance
Prevents excessive reabsorption of water in medulla through the ascending loop of henle
Countercurrent mechanism
Movement of molecules across a membrane as a result of electrical potential on opposite sides of the membrane
Passive transport
The substance to be reabsorbed must combine with a carrier protein which transfers the substance across the cell
Active transport
Substance/s absorbed by PCT
Glucose Amino acid Sodium Water Urea
Substance/s absorbed by DCT
Sodium
Component of juxtaglomerular apparatus
Juxtaglomerular cells
Macula densa
Maintains the glomerular blood pressure at a relatively constant rate regardless of fluctuations in blood pressure
Juxtaglomerular apparatus
Endothelial cells of the capillary wall have pores
Fenestrated
Further restriction of large molecules occurs as the filtrate passes through the basement membrane and the thin membranes covering the filtration slits formed
Podocytes
Repels the molecules with a postive charge even though they are small enough to pass the 3 layers of the barrier
Shield of negativity
An enzyme produced by the juxtaglomerular cells
Renin
Established the standard precaution
