6
Q

A
renal artery > segmental artery > interlobar artery > arcuate artery > cortical radiate artery > NEPHRON > cortical radiate vein > arcuate vein > interloabr vein > renal vein > vena cava
7
Q
Why is there no segmental vein in the kidney?
A
not enough pressure to keep the blood going in different paths
8

A
striated due to collecting ducts
merges at renal column > minor calyx > major calyx > renal pelvis > ureter

- granular cells = senses blood pressure; regulate the constriction/dilation of afferent arteriole
- extraglomerular mesangial cells = pass signals between the macula densa and granular cells
- lots of salt in blood (too much pressure) = granular cells widens artery so not as much hydrostatic pressure & reduces amount of salt being pushed out because so much salt is already there

pH = 7.35-7.45
high pH = alkalosis ; low pH = acidosis
pCO2 = 35-45 mm Hg
high PCO2 = acidosis ; low PCO2 = alkalosis
CO2 low
- caused by hyperventilation (breathing rate/depth increased so breathing out CO2 which decreases H+; fever/panic attack, anxiety) or traveling to higher altitude
- renal system retains H+ and excretes HCO3-
hyperventilation increased pH
26

An increase in metabolic rate causes increase/decrease in CO2. This increase/decrease H+ in blood and causes acidosis/alkalosis. and vice versa ___.
*What can affect rate of cell metabolism? Increase (3) decrease (2)
What happened to breathing rate, H+, HCO3-, pH when met rate increased? Why?
What happened to breathing rate when metabolic rate was decreased? Why? What happened to H+, HCO3-, and pH?
- more metabolism = more CO2 produced as waste, which increases H+ and results in acidosis
- less metabolism = less CO2 produced which decreases H+, increasing pH
- increase = fever, stress, ingestion food
- decrease = lower body temperature, decrease in food intake
- increase met rate = breaths per min and tidal vol increased because need to expel more CO2
- increased H due to increased PCO2 and decreased HCO3-
- decreased pH
- decrease met rate = decrease breaths per minute; because less CO2 needed to expel
- H+ decreased
- pH and HCO3- increased

What happens to pressure/GFR/volume urine if you increase efferent radius?
- nephron = renal tubule + renal corpuscle
- glomerulus = filters fluid
- renal tubule = process filtered fluid (filtrate) - absorb nutrients & secrete waste
- diameter for efferent arteriole smaller than efferent, which forces fluid out
- does not let RBC, WBC, proteins through
- increase afferent radius = pressure/GFR/urine volume (increase SA)
- decrease afferent radius = pressure/GFR/urine vol decrease
- decrease efferent radius = pressure/GFR/urine volume increase (squeezing it out)
- increase efferent radius = pressure/GFR/volume decrease
32
PhysioX Activity 9 Exercise 2

What happened to glomerular capillary pressure/GFR/urine output as BP increased?
What happened to the filtrate pressure in Bowman's capsule and GFR when the valve between the collecting duct & urinary bladder was closed?
starling forces (hydrostatic & osmotic gradients)
- increase BP = increase glomerular capillary pressure/GFR/urine output
- close valve = increase glomerular capillary pressure/decrease GFR (because urine cannot be excreted)
33
PhysioX Exercise 9 Activity 3

How could you adjust the afferent or efferent radius to compensate for the effect of reduced blood pressure on the glomerular filtration rate?

If the efferent arteriole radius decreases in response to a decrease in blood pressure, the glomerular filtration
Comparing the glomerular filtration rate and glomerular capillary pressure with the baseline values (from the first run), how effective was the decreased efferent arteriole radius in compensating for the low blood pressure?
true
- Dilate the afferent arteriole and constrict the efferent arteriole.
