Final Study Guide Flashcards
increase in epinephrine/
decrease in norepinephrine
on vessels
vasoDILATION
Tonic discharge of Norepinephrine
maintains arteriole vasoconstriction. w/o parasympathetic influence, bp would be 90-100mmHg instead of 80mmHg
sympathetic on vessels
- B2 receptors bind,
vasodilation,
increase blood flow to tissue, muscles, liver. - a receptors bind,
vasoconstriction of arterioles,
blood is diverted fr nonessential organs like GI tract
avg. skeletal muscle CO flow
at rest, 20% of CO
during exercise, up to 85% CO
kidney’s main function
homeostatic regulation of water + ion content in blood
6 ways kidneys regulate salt/water balance
1 reg. of ECF + BP (less ecf vol>less bp) 2 reg. of mOsM (avg is 290) 3 maint. of ion balance 4 reg. of pH 5 waste excretion 6 hormone production
3 kidney hormones
1 erythropoietin
2 renin
3 renal enzyme
renin
enzyme that reg. production of hormone involved in Na balance + BP
renal enzyme
converts vit D3 to hormone that reg Ca balance
excretion
anything that filters INTO nephron (unless reabsorbed)
reabsorption
process of moving substance in filtrate fr lumen of tubule back into blood
-mostly takes place in PROXIMAL TUBULE
secretion
selective removal of molecules fr blood into filtrate in lumen
-active process (requires moving substrates AGAINST their concentration gradient)
3 filtration barriers of Renal Corpuscle
1 Glomerular Capillary Endothelium (fenestrated, lined w glycocalyx which is neg charged and repels neg charged plasma proteins)
2 Basement Membrane (acellular layer of extracellular matrix)
3 Bowman’s Capsule Epithelium (surrounded by PODOCYTES and FILTRATION SLITS)
Podocytes
have long cytoplasmic extensions called foot processes
wraps around glomerular capillaries
leaves narrow filtration slits in between
Mesangial Cells
lie between and around glomerular caps to providee support
3 influences of glomerular filtration rate
1 hydrostatic pressure
2 colloid pressure (opposing)
3 capsule fluid pressure
Hydrostatic Pressure on filtration
capillary BP is 55mmHg (favors filtration INTO bowman’s)
-pressure decreases the further out it travels (but remains higher than opposing pressure)
Colloid Pressure
avg pressure is 30 mmHg
- favors mvmt back into capillaries
- pressure is higher than fluid in bowman’s cap bc of proteins in plasma
Fluid Pressure
avg is 15 mmHg
opposes mvmt into capsule
Glomerular Filtration Pressure
Hydrostat pressure - (colloid osmitic pressure) - (fluid pressure)
Glomerular Filtration Pressure
2 Influences
1 net filtration pressure (hydrostat-colloid-fluid)
2 filtration coefficient (surface area of filtration + filtration slits)
main driving force for renal absorption is___
__active transport of Na
-Na is reabsorbed, water follows, permeable solutes follow
saturation
max rate of transport when all available carriers are occupied by substrate
-past saturation means excess solutes cannot be reabsorbed bc all spots are taken
Transport Maximum
transport rate at saturation
