kidney Flashcards
sensory nerve and motor nerve detects the
degree of stretching of the gallbladder
Fibers of the kidneys
sensory nerve fiber
motor nerve fiber
skeletal motor fiber
skeletal motor fiber
transmitted through the pudendal nerve to the external bladder spinchter
Transcellular transport
passing through the cell basally and laterally to the apex of the cell
difference between plasma and ICF
plasma and ICF are the same except that plasma has protein and Red blood cells and white blood cells, but both have equal amount of ions
Isotonic solute
the concentration of the solute outside the cell is equal to the concentration of the solute inside the cell
Transcellular fluids
potion of the total body water contained within epithelial lined space, part of the extra cellular fluid ex of this fluid are cerebrospinal fluid, ocular fluid, and bladder urine. this fluid contains Na ion, cl ions and bicarbonate
carrier mediated transport
primary and secondary transport active transport ( eg Na K pump)
active transport
requires energy to move ions gradient across the cell against its gradient
Paracellular Transport
the movement of solute between the cell and epithilum
aldosterone has a role in
Na absortion
Glucose is transported in the cell by
active transport against concentration graduate, once in the cell it leaves via facilitated diffusion.
Fructose and amino acids are transported
similarly to glucose
kidney s involved in the production of red blood cells via
erythropoietin, hormone like substance triggers erythropoisis in the stem cells of the bone marrow
Tubulo-glomerular feedback
feedback mechanism to perform the function of auto regulation linked to the change in Nacl at the macula densa
controls the renal arteriolar resistance - ensure a constant delivery of the nacl to distal tubules and helps prevent spurious fluctuation of renal excretion
two component of tubulo-glomerular feedback
afferent arteriol feed back mechanism and efferent arterial feedback mechanism
Sacral Cord
the cord that connect the pelvic nerve to the spinal cord, this is the nerve supply of the bladder
parasympathetic effect on the kidney
stimulate the peristaltic contraction in the ureter while sympathetic inhibit
vitamin D and the kidneys
the kidney is involved with the activation of vitamin D to its active form
pudendal nerve
the skeleton motor fiber are transmitted through this nerve, it carries both sensory and motor fibers, and it innervates external genitalia
Podocytes
epithelial cell surrounding the filtration barrier of visceral layer, these are cells in the Bowman’s capsule in the kidney that wrap around the capillaries of the glomerulus. involved in filtrate by hold back protein and other important molecules also involved in regulation of GFR
the glomerular capillaries give rise to
peritubular capilaries, in this system there is an afferent arteriol and efferent arteriol
Bowman’s Capusule
this accepts the filtrate from the glomerular capillary reabsorption into the renal tubular capillaries, secretion from the peritubular capillaries to the Bowman’s capillaries, then excreted
Renal corpuscle
filtration, reabsorbtion, secretion, and excretion take place here . the structures here is the glomerulus capillaries and Bowman’s capsule
urine formation begins
when large amount of fluid that is protein free is filtered from the glomerular capillaries into bowman’s corpuscle
Excretion is
filtration - reabsorption + secretions
Uretorenal reflex
when a ureter is blocked reflex constriction occurs this is associated with intense pain, causing a sympathetic reflex back to the kidney to constrict the renal arterioles there by decreasing urine out put from kidneys
tubular reabsorbtion
the substance like glucose, amino acid, electrolyte is freely filtered at the glomerular capillaries and are all is reabsorbed back into the blood due to been highly able to be reabsorbed
Autoregulation
the relativity between renal blood flow and GF, to maintain the delivery of oxygen and nutrient at a normal level and to remove the waste product of metabolism despite change in the arterial pressure
Sympathetic nervous system affects GFR
afferent and efferent arterioles are richly innerverted by sympathetic NS, it can constrict the renal arterioles and decrease renal blood flow and GFR
Hormones and autacoids affects
GFR (glomerular filtration rate)
hormnes like norepinerphrine , epinerpherine , endothelin constrict
renal blood vessel and decrease GFR
autacoids are
vasoactive substance endothelin( vaso constrictor)that are released in the kidneys and act locally these constrict blood flow in the renal blood vessels and decrease GFR
