What do the cellules tubulaire distale look like?

What is the segment connecteur?
A couple of cells; with characteristics of the distal tubule and collector tubule
What are the functions of the two different cell types in the tubule collecteur cortical?
Cellules principales
65% —> reabsorb NaCl, H2O and secrete K+
Cellules intercalaires
35% —> secrete H+
What do the cellules principales look like?

What is the motor of of the cellule principale?
Basolateral Na+ K+ ATPase
What is the main function of the cellules intercalaires?
Equilibre acido-basique
What do the cellules intercalaires look like?

What kind of cells are found in the médullaire interne (papille)?
cellules du tubule collecteur papillaire

What does PNA do?
Block reabsorption of Na+ —> natriurèse
What are the locations/hormones used for the different functions of the distal nephron?
H2O reabsorption: tubule collecteur (ADH (vasopressin))
Na+ reabsorption: tubules distal + collecteur (Aldosterone, PNA)
K+ secretion: principal tubule collecteur (Aldosterone)
H+ secretion: tubule collecteur intercalaire (Aldosterone)
What hormone controls Na+ transport in distal tubule?
NONE… NOT UNDER HORMONAL CONTROL!!
What hormone controls Na+ transport in the cellules principales du tubule collecteur?
Aldosterone
What hormone controls K+ secretion in the cellules principales du tubule collecteur?
Aldosterone
What hormone controls H+ transport in the cellules intercalaires du tubule collecteur?
Aldosterone
What hormone controls H2O transport in the cellules principales du tubule collecteur?
ADH
What hormone controls Na+ transport in the cellules du tubule collecteur papillaire?
PNA (peptide natriurétique de l’oreillette)
What is the VCE?
Volume intravasculaire qui perfuse efficacement les tissus
- Varies with extracellular volume
- Étroitement liée avec la régulation du balance du Na+
Is the VCE measurable?
NO! its the “taux de perfusion de la circulation capillaire”
What happens when the VCE drops?
Drop in urinary Na+ levels….
- en absence de diurétique ou maladie rénale
If sodium reabsorption is increased… so will water reabsorption which will keep water in
How does Na+ balance happen in humans?

What is the signal that helps Na+ excretion fluctuate according to Na+ taken in by diet?
Change in volume… tubules see salt ingestion through volume receptors
What are the three locations of volume receptors in the body?
- Circulation cardio-pulmonaire (oreillette gauche)
- Sinus carotidien et crosse aortique
- Artérioles afférents
What are the principal control mechanisms (effecteurs) of volume regulation? (2)
Hémodynamie systèmique
Excrétion rénale de Na+
What is hémodynamie systèmique and how is it controlled?
Volume control… contenant
- Système nerveux sympathique
- Angiotensine II
How is sodium excretion dealt with by the kidneys?
Contenu:
- DFG
- Angiotensine II
- Hémodynamie du capillaire pétitubulaire
- Aldostérone
- SNS
- PNA
What are the effects of angiotensine II? (3)
- Vasoconstriction
- Renal Na+ retention
- Stimulation of aldosterone
IMPORTANT OVERVIEW OF VCE CONTROL… MEMORIZE THIS!

What is the emergency mechanism for VCE control?
Secretion of ADH (sécrétion hémodynamique non-osmotique)
-
Tubule collecteur:
- Réabsorption maximale d’eau PEU IMPORTE L’OSMOLALITÉ
-
Vaisseaux sanguins:
- Effet vasoconstricteur —> helps maintain BP
How does the improved “schéma d’hydratation” work?

Osmorégulation vs régulation volémique:

What happens when you infuse the body with isotonic saline? (3)
- increase VCE without increasing osmolality
- increase Na+ in urine/water —> urine iso-osmotique
- Restore “volume corporel iso-osmotique”
What happens when you exercise? (Na loss and water loss)
Perte de Na+ —> modérée (CANAL 2)
- Drop in extra-cellular volume —> drop in VCE
- Decrease in Na+ urinaire
- Restore volume corporel iso-osmotique
Perte d’eau —> importante (CANAL 1)
- Increase in plasmatic osmolality
- Increase ADH/thirst
- Retain water (urine hyper-somolaire)
- Restore volume corporel iso-osmotique
What is monitored and adjusted in each canal? (1, 2 and 4)

What is the normal adjustment site of tubular Na+ reabsorption?
Tubule collecteur
What will a decrease in NaCl ingestion to to aldosterone secretion?
Increase… to keep NaCl inside body
Where is the emergency adjustment site of tubular Na+ reabsorption?
Tubule proximale (ADH)
How do AII and noradrenaline stimulate tubular Na+ reabsorption?
Directement et indirectement en resserrant l’artériole efférente…
