Q

How does the PCT regulate bicarb?

A

HCO3 combines with protons pumped into the tubule from the Na H pump to form carbonic acid (H2CO3). Carbonic anhydrase helps it disassociate to CO2 and H2O which can be reabsorbed into the tubular cells.
once inside the tubular cells, carbonic anhydrase helps combine CO2 and H2O to form carbonic acid which then disassociates back into bicarb and protons. Bicarb can then leave the tubular cells and be reabsorbed

its a large part of how the kidney is able to get rid of fluid when pressure is high and retain when it is low. A little bit of imperfect regulation helps the kidney manage BP long term

peritubular capillaries
renal interstium

325
Q

What is an example of two electrolytes our body secretes?

A

k and na

326
Q

Describe what is happening with the blue and green line
:
a. blue- afferent arteriole is relaxing
green- efferent arteriole is contracting
b. blue- efferent arteriole is contracting
green- efferent arteriole is relaxing
c. a. blue- efferent arteriole is relaxing
green- afferent arteriole is contracting
a. blue- afferent arteriole is relaxing
green- afferent arteriole is contracting

A

b

327
Q

What is filtration fraction? What is a normal amount?

A

GFR (how much fluid is being filtered)/RPF (renal plasma flow)
20%

328
Q

What is renal plasma flow and how do we calculate that?

A

660 ml/min
1100 * 0.6 = 660ml/min
(40% is hct)

329
Q

How will lower pressure in the glomerular capillarie affect GFR?

A

lower

330
Q

Which is easier for the Afferent arteriole to auto regulate? blood pressure past 150 or BP lower than 50? if we couldnt, what would happen

A

BP past 150
high blood pressure would lead to urine dumping

331
Q

Normal urine output

A

1ml/min

332
Q

T/F: autoregulation by the kidney is dependent on renin and ADH

A

false; its independent

333
Q

Match the letter with the ion that follows this system
glucose, sodium, PAH

A

A- Inulin???*
B- sodium
C- glucose
D- PAH

334
Q

What is the MAX amount of a substance that can be filtered at the glomerular capillaries?

A

1/5

335
Q

Paraamino hippuric acid is used to? how?

A

measure renal blood flow; the removal is highly dependent on renal blood flow since so if all of it is removed from the circulation, it is an indication of high renal blood flow

A

podocytes
slit pores

339
Q

Proteins have a net _______charge and the basement endothelium has a net ______ charge. What does this do?

A

negative
negative
prevent proteins from slipping through the fenestrations

340
Q

What starts to deteriorate in the glomerular capillaries after exposure to continuous high bp

A

podocytes

341
Q

Compare the filterability of a polycationic dextran to a polyanioic dextran

A

a polycationic will be more readily filterable due to the positive charge

342
Q

Pressure in the right atrium

A

10 mmHg

343
Q

cross sectional area of arterioles

A

400 cm ^ 2

344
Q

Describe the process of shear force causing NO release

A

shear stress leads to release of eNOS which binds to O2 to L-arginine to create NO. NO binds with L-citrulline which activates soluble guanylylcyclase in the smooth muscle. it activates cGTP to cGMP and that leads to relaxation of the smooth muscle

4.5 g/dl

346
Q

A

6 mmHg
2.5 g/dl

347
Q

How much oncotic pressure in a standard capillary is due to fibrinogen? how much is in our plasma?

A

0.2 mmHg
0.3 g/dl

348
Q
A
349
Q

The kidneys are long term regulators of

A

blood pressure
acid base balance
electrolyte balance
blood glucose

350
Q

Describe how the kidney manages acid base balance

A

Can reabsorb bicarb as needed or produce bicarb if more is needed. It can also get rid of excess protons

351
Q

How does the kidney manage hct levels?

A

There are oxygen sensors deep in the kidney. If oxygen is low, the kidney release erythropoietin from the bone marrow which increases the number of RBC

353
