II: Tubular Transport I Flashcards
% of H2O and waste substances in urine over 24h
95% H2O
5% waste substances
Volume of urine in 24 hours
<1.5L
Urine formation through
Modification of glomerular ultrafiltrate through reabsorption and secretion
Which is most selective, filtration, reabsorption or secretion
Secretion
Filtration definition
Outflow of fluid from glomerular capillaries to renal tubule
Reabsorption definition
Transport of substances from inside tubule to blood
Secretion definition
Transport of substances from blood to interior of tubule
Excretion definition
Elimination of substances to the exterior of urine
Excretion =
Filtration - Rebasorption + Secretion
3 patterns of reabsorption
Complete absoprtion
Zero absorption
Regulated and variable reabsorption
Complete reabsorption definition and examples
Substances that are filtered but are completely reabsorbed
Glucose
Aa
Zero absorption definition and examples
Filtered but NOT reabsorbed
Creatine
Regulated and variable reabsorption definition and examples
Reabsorption depending on circumstances
Na+ Cl- HCO3- K+
Filtered rate equation
FF = GFR x [Substance] plasma
Excretion rate equation
Excretion rate = Urine V x [Substance] urine
Reabsorption rate / secretion rate
= Filtered rate - excretion rate
Vectorial transport definition
Net movement of substances from reabsorption or secretion
Microvilli, bursh border of proximal tubule allow for
Large absorptive area
High mitochondria + relying on aerobic metabolism in
Proximal tubule
How much Na+ reabsorption in early + late proximal convoluted tubule
67%
How much H2O reabsorption in early + late proximal convoluted tubule
67%
Reabsorption of Na+ and H2O in proximal convoluted tubule is
ISOSMOTIC REABSORPTION
