35
Q

What enhances the electrogenic Na absorption

A

aldosterone(absorptagogue)

36
Q

Describe chloride absorption

A

passive voltage dependent

neg lumen charge from Na leaving causes Cl to enter cell paracellularly

37
Q

Descirbe the active transport of Cl

A

Cl-HCO3 exchanger, does not run with Na/H pump

38
Q

where are the Cl-HCO3 exchangers present

A

surface epithelium of large intestin, villous cells on the ileum

39
Q

What is the other name for the Cl-HCO3 exchanger and why

A

DRA exchanger because down regulated with adenomas (colon cancers)

40
Q

How does Cl cross the basolateral side

A

ClC-2 voltage gated

41
Q

What causes congenital Cl diarrhea

A

absence of Cl-HCO3

42
Q

How is absence of DRA specific to colon

A

the gene is different for Cl exchangers in RBC and renal tubules

43
Q

What are signs of congenital Cl diarrhea

A

extremely high [ ] Cl in stool

high plasma [ ] HCO3 (alkalotic)

44
Q

Describe Cl secretion mechanism

A

requires activation by secretagogues

the NaK pump drives the NaKCl pump to increase intracell Cl levels

45
Q

What is the importance of leaky K channels on apical side

A

needed so that K [ ] in the cell does not get too hight with the NaKCl and NaK pumps

46
Q

What is the name of the main Cl channel on apical side

A

CFTR

47
Q

Where does K absorption take place

A

small intestine and distal colon

48
Q

how does K get absorbed in small intestine

A

paracellular, passive transport, pulled through tight junctions with movement of water

49
Q

how does K get absorbed in distal colon

A

active transport transcellularly
apical H/K pump which pumps H into lumen
basolateral NaK pump

50
Q

Where does K secretion take place

A

only in the large intestine

51
Q

Describe passive K secretion

A

predominant route
driven by negative lumen
paracellular

52
Q

What increases the passive secretion of K

A

dehydration because aldosterone is secreted so Na absorbed so Cl leaves lumen making it more negative and then passive K secretion
high levels of K in stool when dehydrated

53
Q

Describe active K secretion

A

throughout colon, activated by aldosterone and cAMP

pump/leak so the drive is from the NaK and NaClK pump

54
Q

Describe the active Ca absorption

A

only in duodenum, speed of flow reduceds uptake

active transcellular and under the control of vitamin D

55
Q

Why is vitamin D needed for ca uptake

A

because Ca is potent second messenger needs to be bound to Calbindin
Vit D induces synthesis of Calbindin

56
Q

Before Ca-Calbinding cross the basolateral side what must happen

A

separate and then Ca leaves via Na Ca exchanger

57
Q

Describe the passive Ca absorption

A

paracellular

depends on [ ] in interstitium (which reflects plasma levels)

58
Q

Where does passive Ca absorption take place and is Vit D needed

A

not influenced by vit D

talkes place throughout SI (jejunum and ileum)

59
Q

What natural process enhances passive Ca absorption

A

lactation

60
Q

Describe the active uptake of Mg

A

only in ileum

Independent of vit D and Ca- mech not known

61
Q

describe the passive uptake of Mg

A

paracellular throughout duodenum and jejunum

based on Mg [ ]

62
Q

What is Mg [ ] necessary for

A

Parathyroid hormone

63
Q

Whcih form of iron precipitaes more

A

ferric Fe3+

64
Q

which form does iron have to be to be taken up by cells

A

Ferrous Fe2+

65
Q

Where does most of our Fe2+ come from

A

Vit C, asorbic acid reduces Fe3+ to Fe2+ and thus increases absorption

66
Q

What 2 major pathologies arise from iron dysregulation

A

anemia (depletion)

hemochromatosis (iron overload)

67
Q

Why are women less susceptible to hereditary hemochromatosis

A

because during menstruation release excess Fe so it does not build up

68
Q

What can excess iron result in

A

cirrhosis, hepatomas, pancreatic damage, bronze pigmentation, pituitary and gonadal failure, arthritis, cardiomyopathy

69
Q

How do we detect iron dysregulation

A

elevated iron and transferrin saturation, elevated ferritin, liver biopsy

70
Q

What is the Tx for iron dysregulation

A

phlebotomize, blood letting every few months to normalize levels

71
Q

What are the two forms of iron

A

heme iron and nonheme

72
Q

what type of iron is absorbed more efficiently heme or nonheme

A

heme

73
Q

how is heme iron absorbed

A

active transcellular transport in duodenum

binds brush border protein then transported to cytoplasm via endocytotic mech

74
Q

What cleaves heme and Fe3+

A

heme oxygenase

75
Q

A

enterocyte

76
Q

Which tranporter is responsible for lead poisoning

A

the DMT1

79
