Q

In the countercurrent exchane system the concentration gradient is maintained in interstitial fluid by ______.

A

vasa recta

149
Q

Blood flow in the countercurrent exchange system is opposite to _____ in the nephron loop.

A

tubular fluid

150
Q

In the countercurrent exchange system blood flows near the _______, water moves out of vasa recta into interstitial fluid and salts are absorbed into blood. As a result, blood becomes more concentrated

A

ascending limb

151
Q

As blood flows near descending limb, salts moves out of ______ into interstitial fluid and water is absorbed into the blood
Blood becomes less concentrated

A

vasa recta

152
Q

Plasma filtration occurs in the ______.

A

glomerulus

153
Q

Most substances are either reabsorbed or secreted into the ____.

A

PCT

154
Q

Nephron loop surrounded by the vasa recta and the _______ from the CD to the ascending limb of the nephron loop, establishes the concentration gradient of the interstitial fluid. This is necessary for ADH function

A

recycling of urea

155
Q

______, type A and type B intercalated cells within DCT, CR and CD aid in regulation of specific substances.

A

Principal cells

156
Q

Urine composed of water and various dissolved substances including ____, waste products and perhaps drugs.

A

ions

157
Q

Under normal circumstances, formed elements and _____ are not lost in urine

A

nutrients

158
Q

Measuring the GFR is used to assess ____ function.

A

kidney

159
Q

When measuring GFR ____ in injected in patient until blood plasma concentration is 1 mg/mL.

A

inulin

160
Q

While measuring GFR, inulin is freely filtered, thus urine is collected and measured for ______ and ____.

A

volume and conectration

161
Q

GFR = UV/P

A

concentration of inulin in urine x concentration of inulin in plasma / volume of urine produced per minute

162
Q

GFR example

Urine concentration 125 mg/mL, urin volume 1 mL/ min, plasma concentration 1 mg/mL

A

125 x 1 mL / 1 mg/mL = 125 mL/min

This is a normal adult GFR, lower indicates kidney function.

163
Q

Another way to assess kidney function is to measure ____.

A

renal plasma clearnace

164
Q

Measures the volume of plasma that can be completely cleared of a substance in a given period of time (1 min). This can tell you if a substance is reabsorbed or secreted when trying to measure ____.

A

renal plasma clearance

165
Q

Compared to GFR:
If substance is equal to GFR it has been neither reabsorbed nor filtered
If substance is reabsorbed, its renal plasma clearance will be lower than GFR because less of the substance is in the urine
Substances that are secreted have a higher renal plasma clearance

A

llll

166
Q

Example:
Renal plasma clearance of urea is 70 mL/min
This means if urea is filtered at a rate of 125 mL/min, only 70 mL/min is cleared, the other 55 mL/min is reabsorbed
Renal plasma clearance of glucose is normally 0 mL/min
This means glucose is reabsorbed 100%

A

lll

167
Q

_____ is the Expulsion of urine from bladder

A

micturition

168
Q

Micturition is innervated by ____.

A

autonomic nervous system (ANS

169
Q

Sympathetic _____ micturition.

A

inhibits

170
Q

Parasympathetic _____ micturition.

A

stimulates

171
Q

Somatic is ____ control of micturition.

A

voluntary

172
Q

_______ is the relaxation of detrusor muscle, contraction of internal urethral sphincter

A

storage reflex

173
Q

Micturition reflex

A

Volume of urine in bladder reaches 200-300 mL, baroreceptors in bladder become activated due to stretching of bladder walls
Micturition center in pons stimulated by incoming signals
Splanchnic nerve signals (parasympathetic) going to bladder are altered
Detrusor muscle contracts and internal urethral sphincter relaxes

174
Q

Cerebral cortex sends signal through ______ to cause relaxation of external urethral sphincter in voluntary control of micturition

A

pudendal nerve

175
Q

Expulsion of urine due to voluntary contraction of abdominal muscles and _______ muscles

A

expiratory

176
Q

If urination doesn’t occur at time of first micturition reflex:

A

Detrusor muscle relaxes more due to ‘stress-relaxation response’ of smooth muscle
Bladder fills more, micturition reflex stimulated again after another 200-300 mL of urine has been added
Cycle continues until 500-600 mL of urine in bladder, conscious control no longer works
