Final Exam - Chapter 26 Flashcards
What is the order of the structure of the kidney (outer to inner)?
- Adipose capsule
- Renal capsule
- Renal cortex
- Renal medulla
- Renal pelvis
Where does the nephron exist?
Part in the renal medulla and part in the renal cortex
Where are the glomeruli (part of the nephron) located?
In the renal cortex
Which part of the nephron is for filtration?
Glomerulus
What are the two things that will NOT be filtered in the afferent arteriole (glomerulus)?
No blood cells or plasma proteins will be filtered because they are too large
Where is the reabsorption of glucose done in the nephron?
Proximal convoluted tubule
Proximal convoluted tubules reabsorb everything EXCEPT:
Water and the majority of minerals (Na+, K+, Ca2+, Cl-)
Which part of the loop of henle is water reabsorbed?
The descending loop
Where does the majority of mineral reabsorption take place in the nephron?
The Ascending loop of Henle (wide) and Distal convoluted tubules
Where is reabsorption of most NaCl?
distal convoluted tubules
Which layer of Bowman’s Capsule has Podocyes?
The visceral layer
Is the visceral layer of bowman’s capsule the innermost or outermost?
Innermost
all parts of the nephron except for the loop of henle have what type of epithelium?
Cubiodal epithelium
What type of epithelium does the descending loop of henle have?
Squamous
What apparatus acts as a sphincter?
Juxta-glomerular apparatus
What does the Juxta-glomerular apparatus do?
Controls how much blood goes to be filtered in Bowman’s capsule
what are the three types of cells in the juxtaposition-glomerular apparatus?
- macula densa
- JG cells
- mes-angial cells
Which type of cell does this describe?
- chemoreceptors (NaCl)
- found in the distal convoluted tubules
- detect BP
- sends messages to JG cells to open and close
Macula densa
What type of cell does this describe?
- found in the afferent arterioles
- secretes renin
JG cells
Which type of cell does this describe?
- interconnected with gap junctions
- may pass signal between macula densa and JG cells
Mes-angial cells
True or False: Renin affects bloop pressure
False
What forces the blood to filter through the glomerulus?
Gradient
- BP is higher in Afferent than Efferent
If GFR is too high…
Needed substances cannot be reabsorbed and are lost
If GFR is too low…
Everything is reabsorbed, including waste
what are the four factors that affect GFR
- permeability
- surface area
- blood pressure
- net filtration pressure
What is the net filtration equation?
NFP = HPg - (OPg + HPc)
