L3:tubular structure and function Flashcards
2 routes of transport for fluid moving from the tubule to the interstitial space
- paracellular route
- transcellular route
paracellular route=
between tight junctions, through lateral intercellular folds
transcelluler route=
across apical, basolateral and translateral surfaces
3 methods of transcellular transportation
- primary active transport
- secondary active transport
- ion channels
what is present on the apical membrane of cells to increase absorption
microvilli
how much reabsorption happens in the PCT
2/3rd of nearly all filtrate
how much glucose is reabsorbed in the PCT
100%
no glucose in urine
what happens to glucose handling in diabetes mellitus
plasma glucose exceeds tubular maximum so glucosuria
what is diabetes insipidus
problem with releasing ADH from pituitary gland, loss of salt and water
what glucose transporter is on the apical membrane in early PCT
SGLT2
what is SGLT2 affinity/capacity for glucose
high capacity
low affinity
what glucose transporter is on the basolateral surface in the early PCT
GLUT-2
apical glucose transporter in late PCT
SGTL-1
basolateral glucose transporter in late PCT
GLUT-1
SGLT-1 affinity/capacity for glucose
low capacity
high affinity
at what point is glucose excreted into filtrate not reabsorbed
when levels pass the tubular transport maximum
what effect does glycosuria have on urination
polyria and polydipsia (thirst)
how are AA reabsorbed
98% via transcellular route in PCT
how are AA filtered in the glomerulus
freely filtered
were are small peptides reabsorbed
all reabsorbed in PCT
how are small peptides reabsorbed
hydrolysed by brush border peptidases on apical membrane and reabsorbed as AA
what percentage of proteins enter the filtrate
1%
how are proteins reabsorbed
protein is endocytosed at apical membrane by peptide transporters
the peptide transporters for protein reabsorption
PepT1
PepT2
PepT1 capacity/ affinity=
high capacity
low affinity
PepT2 capacity/affinity
low capacity
high affinity
what happens to proteins in endosome
lysozymes join and hydrolyse protein into AA
2 secretions of the PCT
organic anions
organic cations
