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
Glucosuria.Glycosuria
-rare disorder in which glucose is secreted in urine
Diuress
removal of excess water by urination
water reabsorption controls __
___urine concentration
-occurs in renal medulla
-absorption of Na and then water follows
-
Vasopressin
-hormone that regs. water reabsorption by adding water pores on the membrane of the DISTAL TUBULE
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) is known as
ARGININE VASOPRESSIN AVP
aquaporin
stimulated by vasopressin levels in colelcting ducts
-AQP2 are either in vesicles or on membranes
Hypothalamus secreted Vasopressin when _____
1 low blood pressure
2 low arterial stretch (due to low blood vol)
3 high osmolarity
Osmoreceptors
- stretch sensitive receptors for osmolarity
- fires if less than 280 mOsM
Countercurrent Exchange System
- controls heat exchange by bringing vessels closer to gether to transfer heat to cooler veins
- moves further apart to release more heat (instead of transferring to veins
Renal Countercurrent Multiplier
exchange system of active transport in renal medulla
- consists of Loop of Henle + Vasa Recta (peritubular capillaries that run parallel to loop of H)
- vasa recta + loop of H run at opposing directions
Descending Limb
- only permeable to H2O (moves fr tubules to vasa recta bc of mOsM)
- filtrate becomes more concentrated as it goes down bc water moved out, and solutes are left behind
Tip of Loop of Henle
-filtrate reaches concentration of up to 1200 mOsM (longer loops have higher mOsM)
Ascending Limb
-impermeable to H2O
-actively transports Na, K, Cl fr tubule to interstitial fluid
(lowers concentration of filtrate fr 1200 to 100 mOsM)
response to ingestion of Na
(more Na but no change in vol)
1 vasopressin secretion, renal H2O reabsorption
2 thirst, H2O intake, increase in ECF vol (kidneys secrete Na + H2O; inc in BP
