Identify this structure:
Proximal convoluted tubule
Where is the proximal convoluted tubule located?
in the cortical labyrith of the cortex
What is the structure of the proximal tubules?
cuboidal epithelium, microvilli on the lumen, large basolaterally located nuclei, lots of mitochondria
Identify this structure:
Proximal straight tubule
Where are the proximal straight tubules located?
in the medullary rays of the cortex
What is reabsorbed in the proximal tubule?
Na, H2O, K, solutes, glucose, Amino acids, bicarbs
How is a Na gradient created in the proximal tubule?
via NaKATPase
What molecules facilitate diffusion in the first half of the proximal tubule that allow Na to be reabsorbed?
NaH antiporter, Na symporters
How is K reabsorbed in the proximal tubule?
paracellularly in the late proximal tubule, transcellularly via the K+Cl- symporter at the basolateral membrane
What are the reabsorptive mechanisms in the 2nd half of the proximal tubule?
NaH antiporter, Cl- anion antiporter, Paracelluar reabsorption for Na and Cl, K Cl symporter
What allows the Na and Cl mechanisms in the proximal tubule function?
the constant circulation of H+ and anions between the lumen and the epithelial cell
