The Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) is

A

around 20mL/min

-amount of filtrate formed in capsule in one minute

86
Q

GFR depends (directly) on

A

1) permeability of glomerular membrane
2) size of glomerular membrane
3) NFP: net filtration pressure

88
Q

Step 1: Glomerular Filtration

GFR Is held constant through multiple mechanisms
a)renal autoregulation

A

i) myogenic mechanism- afferent arterioles respond to changes in pressure-> they dilate or constrict to compensate

ii) tubuloglobmerlur mechanism: change in local messenger levels (vasoactive chemicals) acting on afferent arterioles in response to flow (speed and saltiness) in nephron

89
Q

a)renal autoregulation

i) myogenic mechanism

A

i) myogenic mechanism- afferent arterioles respond to changes in pressure-> they dilate or constrict to compensate

90
Q

a)renal autoregulation

tubuloglobmerlur mechanism

A

ii) tubuloglobmerlur mechanism: change in local messenger levels (vasoactive chemicals) acting on afferent arterioles in response to flow (speed and saltiness) in nephron

91
Q

Step 1: Glomerular Filtration

GFR Is held constant through multiple mechanisms

b) Extrinsic Neural Mechanisms are stress-induced sympathetic responses that inhibit filtrate formation by

A

constricting afferent arterioles thus lowering NFP thus lowering GFR

92
Q

Step 1: Glomerular Filtration

GFR Is held constant through multiple mechanisms

c) the renin-angiotestin mechanism

A

-kidney reacts to Low BP by secreting renin

-renin triggers a cascade that helps raise blood volume+ systemic vasoconstriction so that BP rises and thus GFR raises to normal

93
Q

Step 2: Tubular Reabsorption

Tubular Reabsorption

occurs where (2 places )
retains what

A

96
Q

Step 2: Tubular Reabsorption

Secondary active transport is responsible for absorption of

A

glucose, amino acids, most cations, and occurs when solutes are co transported with Na+

a) the Na+ in the cotransporter is moving down its concentration gradient

97
Q

Step 2: Tubular Reabsorption

Tubular secretion disposes of

A

unwanted solutes

102
Q

what is freely absorbed by the descending limb of the loop of henle

A

water

103
Q

since water is freely absorbed by the descending limb of the loop of henle FILTRATE CONCENTRATION ___and water is ___

A

FILTRATE CONCENTRATION increases and water is reabsorbed

104
Q

the ascending limb is permeable to ___ but not to ___

A

the ascending limb is permeable to solutes but not to H2O

105
Q

In the collecting duct, urea diffuses into the ___, contributing to

A

diffuses into the deep medullary tissue, contributing to the increasing osmotic gradient ecountered by the filtrate as it moves through the loop

106
Q

Production of a dilute urine occurs when

A

-overhydrated SO

-decreased ADH secretion
-the collecting duct carries dilute urine towards minor calyx w/o much reabsorption of H2O

107
Q

formation of concentrated urine occurs when

A

-when under-hyrdrated
-the pituitary secretes more ADH causing insertion of more aquaporins into walls of conducting duct
-this is falutative H2O reabsorption

108
Q

Diuretics act to

A

a) inhibiting Na+ reabsorption, thus less H2O reabsorption

b) decreased ADH will increase urine output (eg. alcohol, diabetes insipidus)

c) if other solutes are in urine (e.g. diabetes militus: lots of glucose in filtrate)

109
Q

the amount of water reabsorbed in the renal collecting ducts is proportional to

A

A

is not reabsorbed, leading to high quantities of dilute urine

130
Q

Influence of ADH

When ADH levels are high, filtered water is

A

reabsorbed, resulting in a lower volume of concentrated urine

131
Q

ADH secretion is promoted or inhibited by the ____ in response to (3 things)

A

the hypothalamus in response to changes in solute concentrartion of extracellular fluid, large changes in blood pressure or volume, or vasular baroreceptors

134
Q

edema is the accumulation of fluid in the

possible causes

A

extracellular space

a) high capillary BP (e.g. in heart failure)
b) hyponatermia- thus low osmotic p
c) lymphatic impairment- extreme example is filariasis (“elaphentitis”)

135
Q

The central role of sodium in fluid and electrolyte balance

A

important to regulation due to its abundence in osmotic pressure

136
Q

Regulation of sodium balance

when aldosterone secretion is high, nearly all filtered sodium

A

nearly all filtered sodium is reasbsorbed in the distal convoluted tubule in and the collecting duct

increased aldosterone= increased sodium reabsorption

137
Q

the most important trigger for the release of aldosterone is the

response to 3 things

A

renin-angiotestin mechanism, initiated in response to sympathetic stimulation, decrease in filtrate osmolarity, or decreased blood pressure

138
Q

cardiovascular baroreceptors monitor

A

blood volume so that blood pressure remains stable

139
Q

Atrial Natriuretic Peptide reduces blood pressure and blood volume by

A

inhibiting release of renin, aldosterone, ADH and stimulating vasodialation

140
Q

Estrogens are chemically similar to aldeosterone and enhance

A

reabsorption of Na+ in kidney

141
Q

Glucocorticoids such as cortisol___Na+ reabsoprtion

A

increase

142
Q

potassium is crucial to the maintenence of

A

the membrane potential of neurons and muscle cells,

and is a buffer that compensates for shifts of hydrogen ions in or out of cells

both hypo and hyperkalemia can cause irregular heart rhythm

143
Q

Aldosterone influences K+ pump secretion as

A

it adds Na+/K+ pumps to kidney tubules thereby increasing K+ secretion

metabolic byproducts of CO2 or breakdown of fats

148
Q

A chemical buffer is a

The bicarbonate buffer system is the main buffer of

A

extracellular fluid and consists of a carbonic acid and its salt, sodium bicarbonate

150
Q

The bicarbonate buffer system

when a strong acid is added to the solution

A

bicarbonic ions bind much of the H+ that came off the strong acid

151
Q

The bicarbonate buffer system

when a strong base is added to the solution

A

-carbonic acid donates more H+ to bing the OH- of the strong base

152
Q

the protein buffer system

A

is main system inside cells

-proteins are amphoteric-can be weak acids or bases

-COOH (carboxyl) groups can donate H+, NH3 groups (amine) can accept H+

153
Q

When hypercapnia occurs, pH drops, activating respiratory centers, resulting in

A

increased ventilation to blow off more CO2 (returning pH up to normal)

Q

When pH rises, the respiratoru centers are depressed, allowing

A

CO2 to accumulate in the blood, lowering pH to normal

155
Q

Renal mechanisms of acid-base balance

bicarbonate ions can be converted from filtrate or synthesized by

A

Type A intercalated cells in response to acidosis

156
Q

Renal mechanisms of acid-base balance

when the body is in alkalosis,

A

a rise in CO2 that lowers blood pH

-often caused by brreathing disorders

158
Q

Abnormalities of acid-base balance
