EXAM 3- RENAL SYSTEM Flashcards
Most of the absorption takes place in the
Proximal tubule
Electrolyte homeostasis
Na+ K+ Ca2+ Cl- HPO4
Regulation of blood pH
Removes H+from blood maintains bicarbonate ions (HCO3-) in blood
Regulation of Blood Volume/Blood Pressure
Retention of water = increases BP Elimination of water = decreases BP

at 300 mOsm/L
Hormones Produced by the Kidney Calcitriol - Renin – Blood pressure regulation
form of Vitamin D and calcium homeostasis
Hormones Produced by the Kidney Erythropoietin responsible for
RBC production
Hormones produced by kidney Renin –
Blood pressure regulation
Excretion of Wastes
Ammonia & Urea (protein metabolism)
Arthritis known as Gout –
excess uric acid
Kidney role Performs gluconeogenesis:
Synthesis of glucose from amino
Superficial cortical nephrons:
Make up 85% of all nephrons, which extend partially into the medulla.
Juxtamedullary nephrons: Where it lies and importance?
Lie close to and extend deep into the medulla and are important for the process of concentrating urine; secrete renin.
Afferent arteriole
Bring blood toward kidney
Explain Glomerular filtration:
Water & small solutes in blood plasma move across the wall of the glomerular capillaries into glomerular capsule and then renal tubules (PCT –> loop of Henle –> DCT –> Collecting duct)
Explain Tubular reabsorption:
As “filtrate” moves along tubule water and many useful solutes reabsorbed = returned to blood
Explain Tubular secretion:
“filtrate” moves along tubule other molecules (wastes, drugs, & excess ions) are secreted into fluid
Any solutes that remain in the fluid that drains into the renal pelvis are
excreted as urine
Brush border villi role

Final concentration
Nephron must reabsorb ______of the filtrate (as a result: ______of urine per day)
99% ‘ 1-2 Liters
______with _______Does most of the reabsorption (remainder of nephron fine-tunes)
PCT; microvilli
In PCT, Solutes are reabsorbed by both _____And ____
active transport and passive diffusion
In PCT, _______amino acids, urea and ions (Na+, K+, Ca2+, Cl-, bicarbonate, phosphate)
Glucose
In PCT, 65% of water follows by
osmosis
** 100% of_____ , -_______________GALWO are reabsorbed in the first half of the **____
Glucose, amino acids, lactic acid, water-soluble vitamins, and other nutrients PCT
Reabsorption of Na+ produces an electrical gradient that
caused Cl- to follow by passive transport
Accumulation of NaCl outside of tubule produces an osmotic gradient:
• Helps “pull” water out of tubule
Desending Limb of Loop of Henle:
– 15% of the filtered water is reabsorbed in the descending limb – High solute content of the medulla “pulls” water out – Low permeability to solutes = little reabsorption of solutes
Asending Limb of Loop of Henle:
– Variety of transporters reclaim more Na+, Cl-, & K+ ions and other ions by diffusion – Thin, ascending segment: Is more permeable to solutes and almost impermeable to water. – Thick portion of the ascending segment: Is highly permeable to sodium, potassium, and chloride and significantly less permeable to water and urea.
DCT: .
– Moderately permeable to solutes but absorbs about 15% of water – reabsorption of Na+ and Cl- continues – 15% of water reabsorption by osmosis
– The DCT serves as the major site where
parathyroid hormone stimulates reabsorption of Ca+2
*By end of DCT,
95% of solutes & water have been reabsorbed **
Collecting duct contains ________and ________makes final adjustments
Intercalated and Principal cells
Principal cells:
• Target of 2 hormones that promote reabsorption of more water and ions
ADH role
increases water reabsorption (retention)
Aldosterone @
collecting duct:
Aldosterone role
increases reabsorption of Na+ and Cl- Therefore water will also be reabsorbed!
Secretion of K+ (adjust for dietary intake of K+) done by
Aldosterone
Intercalated cells role
help regulate pH of body fluids • Proton pumps (H+ATPases)secrete protons(H+) into tubule • Reabsorb bicarbonate ions(buffers blood pH)
Tubular secretion:
– Transfer of materials from blood into filtrate/urine
Major stimuli that trigger release of Angiotensin II
Low blood volume, or BP, stimulates renin-induced production of angiotensin II
Major stimuli that trigger release of Aldosterone
Increased angiotensin II level, and increased plasma levels of K+ promote release of aldosterone by adrenal cortex.
Major stimuli that trigger release of Vasopressin (ADH)
increased osmolarity of ECF or decrease BV, promotes release of ADH from the posterior pituitary gland
Major stimuli that trigger release of ANP
Stretching of atria of heart stimulates secretion of ANP
Major stimuli that trigger release of PTH
Decreased level of plasma Ca2+ promotes release of PTH from parathyroid glands
Mechanism and site of action of Angiotensin II
Stimulates activity of Na+/H+ antiporters in PCT cells
Mechanism and site of action of Aldosterone
Enhances activity of Na-K+ potassium pump in basolateral membrane and Na+ channels in apical membrane of principals in collecting duct.
Mechanism and site of action of ADH (vasopressin) Stimulates _______Of_________into the _________of _______in _______
Stimulates insertion of water channel proteins (AQUAPORIN-2) into the apical membrane of principal cells In COLLECTING duct
Mechanism and site of action of ANP
Suppresses reabsorption of NA and water in proximal tubule and collecting duct; also inhibits secretion of ALDOSTERONE and ADH
Mechanism and site of action of PTH
Stimulates opening of Ca2+ channels in apical membrane of early distal tubule cells
Angiotensin Hormone effects
Increases reabsorption of Na and other solutes, and water which increases BV
Aldosterone Hormone effects
Increases secretion of K+ and reabsorption of Na+, Cl-, increases reabsorption of water , which increases BV
ADH Hormone effects
Increases facultative reabsorption of water , which decreases osmolarity of body fluids
ANP Hormone effects
Increases excretion of Na in URINE (NATRIURESIS); increases urine output (DIURESIS) and thus DECREASES BV
