CONCENTRATION AND DILUTION OF URINE Flashcards
TOTAL BODY WATER IS CONTROLLED BY:
- FLUID INTAKE -> REGULATED BY THE THIRST MECHANISM IN THE HYPOTHALAMUS AND RELATED HORMONES
- RENAL WATER EXCRETION SUCH AS CONCENTRATION AND DILUTION OF URINE -> REGULATED BY ADH AND COUNTER CURRENT MECHANISM IN THE KIDNEY
ADJUSTMENT OF THE FINAL URINE CONC. IS DONE AT THE
COLLECTING DUCT
TRUE/ FALSE:
A. OBLIGATORY REABSORPTION OF WATER NEED ADH
B. OBLIGATORY REABSORPTION OF WATER IS HIGHER IN THE DESCENDING LIMB LOOP OF HENLE
C. FACULTATIVE REABSORPTION OF WATER NEED ADH
D. ADJUSTMENT OF FINAL URINE CONC. IS DONE AT THE COLLECTING DUCT
E. WHEN OVERHYDRATION, THE URINE VOLUME DECREASE
A. FALSE
B. FALSE (HIGHER IN THE PCT)
C. TRUE
D. TRUE
E. FALSE
WHEN THE WATER IN THE BODY IS IN EXCESS, THE OSMOLARITY OF ECF IS HIGH/LOW
LOW
WHEN THE OSMOLARITY OF THE URINE EXCRETED IS HIGH, IT INDICATES THT
THE OSMOLARITY OF ECF IS HIGH D/T THE BODY WATER DEFICIENCY
TO CONCENTRATE THE URINE, THE KIDNEYS REQUIRE:
- HYPERTONIC INTERSTITIUM IN THE RENAL MEDULLA
- ADH
TO CREATE AND MAINTAIN A HYPERTONIC INTERSTITIUM IN THE RENAL MEDULLA, THE KIDNEY REQUIRE:
- COUNTERCURRENT MULTIPLIER -> LOOP OF HENLE IN WHICH IT WILL CREATE A HYPERTONIC INTERSTITIUM
- COUNTERCURRENT EXCHANGER -> VASA RECTA IN WHICH IT MAINTAINS THE HYPERTONIC INTERSTITIUM.
STATE THE MAJOR FEATURES REQUIRED FOR KIDNEY TO PRODUCE CONCENTRATED URINE.
- COUNTERCURRENT ARRANGEMENT OF THE ENTIRE NEPHRON AND COLLECTING DUCT (S SHAPE)
- TAL OF LOH -> IMPERMEABLE TO WATER AND PERMEABLE TO SOLUTE, CAPABLE OF NACL TRANSPORT
- CORTICO MEDULLARY OSMOTIC GRADIENT -> OSMOLARITY INCREASES FROM CORTEX TO MEDULLA
- ABILITY TO REGULATE THE WATER PERMEABILITY OF THE DISTAL TUBULE AND CD
- COUNTERCURRENT ARRANGEMENT OF BF -> PRESENT IN THE VASA RECTA.
DESCENDING LIMB IS HIGH PERMEABLE TO ___ BUT IMPERMEABLE TO ___
PERMEABLE TO WATER
IMPERMEABLE TO SOLUTES
PROPERTIES OF THE LOOP OF HENLE THAT HELP CREATE A HYPERTONIC INTERSTITIUM
- THIN DESCENDING LIMB
- THIN ASCENDING LIMB
- THIN DESCENDING LIMB
1. PERMEABILITY TO WATER: HIGHLY PERMEABLE
2. PERMEABILITY TO SOLUTES: IMPERMEABLE
3. PERMEABILITY TO UREA: PERMEABLE - THIN ASCENDING LIMB
1. PERMEABILITY TO WATER: IMPERMEABLE
2. PERMEABILITY TO SOLUTES: PERMEABLE
3. PERMEABILITY TO UREA: PERMEABLE
PROPERTIES OF THE LOOP OF HENLE THAT HELP CREATE A HYPERTONIC INTERSTITIUM
- THICK ASCENDING LIMB
- DISTAL TUBULE AND COLLECTING DUCT
- THICK ASCENDING LIMB
1. PERMEABILITY TO WATER: IMPERMEABLE
2. PERMEABILITY TO SOLUTE: ACTIVELY PUMO Na+ AND COTRANSPORT Cl- AND K+ OUT -> PRODUCING HIGH OSMOLARITY IN THE INTERSTITIUM UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ADH
3. PERMEABILITY TO UREA: IMPERMEABLE - DISTAL TUBULE AND COLLECTING DUCT
1. PERMEABILITY TO WATER: PERMEABLE
2. PERMEABILITY TO SOLUTE: PERMEABLE
3. PERMEABILITY TO UREA: IMPERMEABLE
THE INNER MEDULLARY COLLECTING DUCT (IMCD) BECOME PERMEABLE TO UREA IN THE PRESENCE OF
ADH
ADH PROMOTE THE REABSORPTION OF WATER AT THE
DISTAL TUBULE
CORTICAL COLLECTING TUBULE
IMCD
TO PRODUCE CONCENTRATED URINE
ADH INCREASES THE PERMEABILITY TO UREA AT THE
IMCD
TO CREATE HYPEROSMOTIC INTERSTITIUM IN THE DEEP MEDULLA
THE MEDULLARY INTERSTITIUM OSMOTIC GRADIENT IS SET UP THROUGH 2 MAIN MECHANISM
- THE OSMOTIC GRADIENT IN THE OUTER MEDULLA IS DUE TO THE ACTIVE TRANSPORT OF NACL, BY THE THICK ASCENDING LIMB OF THE LOOP OF HENLE
- THE OSMOTIC GRADIENT IN THE INNER MEDULLA IS PRIMARILY DUE TO THE PASSIVE MOVEMENT OF UREA AND NACL.
