Exam 4 Condensed NEW Flashcards
How much glucose, amino acids, and carboxylates are reabsorbed in proximal tubule?
almost 100%
What 2 mechanisms auto-regulate renal function?
myogenic mechanism
tubuloglomerular feedback
What drives the reabsorption of Na+ in the early proximal tubule?
negative Vte
What is Liddle Syndrome?
increases ENac activity
causes more Na+ reabsorption and high BP
What is a loop diuretic?
inhibits Na/K/Cl co-transporter
targets thick ascending limb
What transporter reabsorbs NaCl in the distal tubule?
thiazide-sensitive NaCl co-transporter
Where is the most HCO3- reabsorbed?
proximal tubule
Fluid movement up the thick/thin ascending limb becomes more __________
diluted
What is special about principle cells in the distal tubule?
Na+ reabsorption stimulated by aldosterone
What transporter reabsorbs NaCl in thick ascending limb?
Na+/K+/Cl- co-transporter
What are the 2 fates of H+ secreted in the lumen?
- make new HCO3- (combines with OH- to make water)
- secreted as a titratable acid
What is the HCO3- pump and the H+ pump located on alpha-intercalated cells?
HCO3-: basolateral side
H+: apical side
What cell type performs HCO3- secretion in the distal tubule?
beta-intercalated cells (HCO3-/Cl- exchanger)
What 2 ions are mainly transported paracellularly in the thick ascending limb?
Mg2+
Ca2+
What 2 things are needed to make a concentrated urine?
- H2O permeable nephron segments
- hyper-osmotic medullary interstitum
What are 2 stimulators of ADH?
** 1. increased plasma osmolarity
2. decreased ECF
What transporter reabsorbs Na+ in principle cells of the collecting duct?
ENac
What is the osmotic equillibrium of the counter-current loop?
entering fluid is isosmotic but turns hyperosmotic as water is reabsorbed in tDLH
Increased filtration = increased tubule flow = ___________ reabsorption
increased reabsorption (increased osmotic pressure)
Where is most of the Ca2+ reabsorbed?
thick ascending limb
What is the single effect of the counter-current loop?
movement of NaCl out of ascending limb increases the osmolarity of interstitum
How does the thick ascending limb play a role in acid secretion?
Na+/HCO3- exchanger
- HCO3- reabsorption
What cell type performs H+ secretion in the collecting duct/distal tubule?
alpha-intercalated cells (H+/K+ pump)
What 3 segments of the nephron participate in acid secretion?
proximal tubule
thick ascending limb
cortical collecting duct
What is the role of ADH?
increase water reabsorption by inserting more aquaporins
