Q

THE MEDULLARY INTERSTITIUM OSMOTIC GRADIENT IS SET UP THROUGH 2 MAIN MECHANISM

A
  1. 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
  2. THE OSMOTIC GRADIENT IN THE INNER MEDULLA IS PRIMARILY DUE TO THE PASSIVE MOVEMENT OF UREA AND NACL.

Q

EFFECTS OF ADH ON THE KIDNEY

A
  1. REGULATES WATER EXCRETION -> CAUSING THE ENTIRE COLLECTING DUCT BECOMES PERMEABLE TO WATER
  2. INCREASES THE UREA PERMEABILITY IN THE IMCD
  3. INCREASES THE RATE OF
    - ACTIVE NACL REABSORPTION IN THE MEDULLARY TAL OF LOH
    - ACTIVE NACL AND FLUID REABSORPTION IN THE MEDULLARY COLLECTING DUCT
17
Q

INCREASE IN THE NA+ REABSORPTION IS ASSOCIATED WITH HIGH ABUNDANCE OF 3 NA+ TRANSPORTER:

A

1NA+/K+/2CL- SYMPORTERS -> TAL
NA+/CL- SYMPORTERS -> DISTAL TUBULE
NA+ CHANNEL -> LATE DISTAL TUBULE AND COLLECTING DUCT

18
Q

STATE THE ROLE OF THE ADH IN THE CONCENTRATION AND DILUTION OF URINE

A
  1. ADH INCREASES THE PERMEABILITY OF THE COLLECTING DUCT TO WATER
  2. ADH HELPS IN CREATING AND MAINTAINING A HYPERTONIC INTERSTITIUM
    - ADH INCREASES THE PERMEABILITY OF IMCH TO UREA CREATING A HYPERTONIC INTERSTITIUM
    - ADH DECREASES THE BF IN THE MEDULLA TO MAINTAIN THE HYPERTONIC INTERSTITIUM
  3. ADH STIMULATES THE TRANSPORT OF NA+, K+, AND CL- IN TAL TO CREATE HYPERTONIC INTERSTITIUM

Q

DESC THE RECIRCULATION OF UREA FROM CD TO LOH CONTRIBUTING TO HYPEROSMOTIC RENAL MEDULLA.

A
  1. RECIRCULATION OF UREA ABSORBED FROM MEDULLARY CD TO THE INTERSTITIAL FLUID.
  2. UREA IS SECRETED FROM INTERSTITIAL FLUID INTO THE DEEP MEDULLARY REGIONS OF LOH VIA THE UT-A2 TO RESTORE THE UREA CONTENT IN THE TUBULAR FLUID
  3. UREA DIFFUSES INTO THE THIN LOH AND THE PASSED THROUGH THE DISTAL TUBULE AND FINALLY PASSES BACK INTO THE CD.
25
Q

A
  1. SLOW AND SLUGGISH BF
    - SUFFICIENT TO SUPPLY THE METABOLIC NEED OF THE TISSUE
    - HELPS TO MINIMIZE THE SOLUTE LOSS FROM THE MEDULLARY INTERSTITIUM
  2. THE U SHAPE OF THE VASA RECTA CAPILLARIES ACT AS COUNTERCURRENT EXCHANGERS -> MINIMIZING WASHOUT OF SOLUTES FROM THE MEDULLARY INTERSTITIUM
26
Q

STATE THE CHARACTERISTIC OF VASA RECTA THAT MAINTAIN THE HYPERTONIC INTERSTITIUM IN THE RENAL MEDULLA.

A
  1. VASA RECTA IS VERY PERMEABLE
  2. SOLUTE DIFFUSES FROM OUTLET LIMB INTO THE INLET LIMB BY CONCENTRATION GRADIENT
  3. WATER MOVES FROM THE INLET LIMB TO THE OUTLET LIMB BY OSMOSIS
  4. SOLUTE TEND TO ACCUMULATE IN THE VASA RECTA AND INTERSTITIUM
  5. ADH DECREASES THE RENAL MEDULLARY BF -> V1 RECEPTORS IN THE BV TO CAUSE VASOCONSTRICITION
  6. BLOOD FLOW IS VERY SLOW IN THE MEDULLA PRESERVING THE HYPERTONIC INTERSTITIUM
  7. FROM THE MEDULLARY INTERSTITIUM, ONLY VERY SMALL AMOUNTS OF SUBSTANCES ARE REMOVED, PROVIDING A HYPERTONIC INTERSTITIUM IN THE MEDULLA BY VASA RECTA AS AN EXCHANGER
