Q

Explain how does aldosterone work on P cells:

A

Aldosterone binds intracellular receptors
and the hormone-receptor migrates to the
nucleus where it stimulates the synthesis
of more:

  1. Na+ (ENaC) channels that become
    inserted into the apical membranes
  2. Na+/K+ ATPase that are inserted into
    the basolateral membrane

The action of aldosterone is not immediate because it requires the
synthesis of new protein
As a result the effect is delayed by about an hour and can take anything
up to 5 days to reach maximum

Q

Juxtaglomerular apparatus - the production of ….

Explain it:

A

renin

When [Na+] in the distal tubule is low cells of the macula densa cause
the juxtaglomerular cells (modified smooth muscle cells) of the afferent
arteriole to secrete the proteolytic enzyme renin into the blood

Q

ANP Promotes Na+ excretion (Natriuresis) by: (4)

A
  1. Inhibition of the renin aldosterone secretion
  2. At high doses causes afferent arteriolar vasodilation, increasing GFR
  3. Direct inhibition of Na+ reabsorption in the medullary collecting duct
  4. Decreased ADH secretion

Q

…% HCO3 - is reabsorbed in proximal tubule and loop of Henle

A

24
Q
A

Intercalated cells of the distal tubule

1-2

25
Q

How do Intercalated cells of the distal tubule (I cells) work?

A 
1. H+ actively secreted by an ATP
dependent pump into tubular
fluid
2. pH of tubular fluid falls to 4-4.5
3. Conversion of HCO3
- to CO2
and water
4. CO2 diffuses into cell down
concentration gradient
5. CA catalyses reformation of
carbonic acid which dissociates
into H+ and HCO3
-
6. HCO3
- transported into
interstitial fluid by an HCO3
- /Clexchanger
(apical membrane has a low
permeability to H+)
26
Q

Active secretion of H+ in the distal tubule can result in urine with a pH as low as …

A

4-4.5

27
Q

If the average volume of urine produced per day is ….and pH 4 = 0.1 mM, then only …. mmol of free H+ can be excreted daily

This is not enough…

A
  1. 5 l

0. 15

28
Q

How is the additional metabolic acid excreted?

A

The body normally produces about 15 mols of CO2 and 50 mmol of nonvolatile acid (remember dissolved CO2 in body fluid forms H+)

To maintain plasma [H+ ] within normal range CO2 is removed in the lungs and non-volatile acid via the kidneys

As mentioned before the total free H+ secreted by the tubules his very small, so the non-volatile acid is normally removed by buffering it with “urinary buffers” mainly phosphate or secreting ammonium ions.

Phosphate is derived from the diet, whilst ammonium salts are derived from the metabolism of glutamine in the proximal tubule (see earlier slide)

29
Q

Summary of the renin-angiotensin (-aldosterone) system:

A
  1. When plasma [Na+] is low in distal tubule, macula densa cells cause granular cells of the afferent arteriole to secrete renin
  2. Renin converts the plasma peptide angiotensinogen (452 aa) into angiotensin I (12 aa)
  3. Angiotensin I is converted to angiotensin II (10 aa) by a converting enzyme found on the capillary endothelium of the lungs and other
    vascular beds.
  4. Angiotensin II acts of zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex causing the secretion of the hormone aldosterone in to the blood.
  5. Aldosterone has numerous effects including increasing reabsorption of Na+ by the distal tubule.
