Chapter 20 Flashcards
cell membrane
selectively permeable
Remember mass balance
amount comes in has to come out
what happens if GFR stops
no ability to regulate osmalarity
water loss that can be regulated
urine
what controles fluid and electrolyte balance
renal, respiratory, and cardiovascular systems
what controles fluid and electrolyte balance
renal, respiratory, and cardiovascular systems
behavioral mechanisms
thirst and salt craving
What effects cell volume
ECF osmolarity
solute in terstitial medulla
Urea

The Medullary Osmotic Gradient
- Filtrate entering the descending limb becomes progressively more concentrated as it loses water.
- Blood in the vasa recta removes water leaving the loop of Henle.
- The ascending limb pumps out Na+, K+, and Cl-, and filtrate becomes hyposmotic. (lower osmotic pressure)

Ascending loop of henle transport types
Cotransport
Active transport (Na)
Impermeability to Water (NO WATER)
Chemical Gradient (everything else)
Electrochemical balance

Electrochemical balance
h2o movement
driven by the osmotic gradient between the tubule and interstitial fluid
What is impermeable to ions
escending loop of henle
What reabsorbs water and ions
Vasa Recta
