Q

difference btw peritubular capillaries and vasa recta?

A

efferent A in CORTICOL NEPHRON>> Goes to form peritubular capillary

efferent A in Juxtameduallry NEPHRON>> Goes to form vasa recta

Q

what 2 things makes up the filtration barrier?

Describe the 3 layers

A

capillary endothelium and visceral layer of Bowman’s capsule

all these 3 have a negative charge! & protein have a fixed - charge, causing them to repel!

Q

in some kidney diseases, this negative charge on the filtration barrier is lost!

how can this be a problamo?

A

proteins are more readily filtered - a condition called proteinuria

Q

name the Physical forces involved in the filtering of plasma to form ultra filtrate

A

oncotic pressure in the glomerulus is telling the hydrostic p. in the capsule>>> please dont leave me, i’ve got all the proteins come to meee pleaseee

(so it opposing filtration)

16
Q

describe the hydtostatic oressure of the glomerulus, why does it remain high across the entire capillar bed?

A

bc the glomerular capillaries r drained by a high-resistance efferent arteriole who resistence is smaller than the afferent that feeds them

17
Q

describe Renal Autoregulation what is its purpose

A

the relative consistency of GFR and renal BF

to maintain a reletevly constant GFR!

total plamsa is only about 3 liters! any change in renal excretion can quikcly deplete it!

18
Q

how is Renal autoregulation mediated?

A

2 mechanisms:

faster myogenic response

slower tubuloglomerular (TG) feedback system.

19
Q

describe the myogenic mechanism

to what vessels does this apply to?

how quick is it?

A

ability of blood vessels to resist stretching during increased BP

super quick! (3-10s)

It is a property predominantly of the preglomerular resistance vessels

– accurate

– interlobular

– Afferent arteriole

20
Q

thinking about afferent and efferent…

how can we decrease GFR (2 ways)

how can we increase GFR (2 ways)

21
Q

BUT BE AWARE… effect of EFFERENT arterioles depends on the severity of the constriction…explain

A

if we increase the efferent resistence slightly> the hydosta. p will increase & GFR increase

BUTT

if they r severly constrcited! this can block renal BF! casuing proetin concentration to increase, and opppsoing forces increase, GFR decrease!

22
Q

Autoregulation is able to maintain GFR when blood pressure is within physiological limits (80-180 mmHg)

23
Q

describe the mechanism of tubular Glomerular Feedback!

A

This mechanism links Na+ and Cl- concentration at the macula densa with control of renal arteriolar resistance

It has 2 components

  1. 􏰃 Afferent arteriole mechaniam
  2. 􏰃 Efferent arteriolar mechanism

these depend on the anaotmical arrangments of the juxtamedullary cells

24
Q

what is the juxtameduallry complex

A

consists of:

  • Macular Densa on distal tubule
  • jusxtamedullary cells in walls of aff and eff arterioles.

Macula densa contains golgo since its needs to send scretery organlles towards the arterioles!

25
what do the macula densa sense? what recpeter do they work by?
changes in blood volume! it works via the Na/k/2Cl cotransporter in the apical membrane and its via this transporter where it can detect a change in Cl-
26
what sorts of chemicals does the jusxtameduallry apparatus release? to increase GFR reducd GFR
To increase GFR \>\> Prostaglandins \>\>vasodilator of AA Reduce GFR\>\> Adenosine \>\> mainlyyyy works through A1 recepter on affer\>\> causes constriction and A2 on efferent \>\> dilation
27
how does NSAIDS have an effect on the the bp?
NSAIDS inhbit prostaglandins no dilation of afferent decreased GFR Decrease Bp
28
BUT THESE R ALL ACUTE MECHANISM!
29
Neural regulation of GFR
* Sympathetic nerve fibres innervate AE and EA * Fight or Flight Or ischaemia Or haemorrhage (sever) can stimulate renal vessels * Vasoconstriction occurs as a result which conserves BV (haemorrhage) and can cause a fall in GFR
30
if Na CL was \_\_\_\_\_at macula densa, this causes \_\_\_\_\_of afferent Arterioles!
31
whic areteriole is highly sensitive to ANg 2
EFFERENT
32
1st line of defence Myogenic and TG feedback what comes next?
2nd line of defence Glomerulotubular Balance blunts sodium excretion response to any GFR changes which do occur despite 1st line reposnses
