Le néphron distal (les tubules distal et collecteur) / Le contrôle du volume circulant efficace Flashcards
What are the different parts of the néphron distal?
-
Tubule distale
- ** Segment connecteur (transition segment distalo-collecteur)
-
Tubule collecteur
- Cortical
- Cellules principales
- Cellules intercalaires
- Médullaire
- Médullaire externe
- Médullaire interne
- Cortical
What are the functions of the distal nephron? (4)
Water reabsorption
Sodium reabsorption
Secretion of potassium
Secretion of hydrogen ions (acid)
What % of NaCl is reabsorbed in each segment of the nephron?
- Proximal tubule: 70%
- Anse of Henle: 20%
- Distal tubule: 5%
- Collector tubule: 4%
Where does the distal nephron start?
Macula densa
What are the different segments of the néphron distal and the hormones/membrane transport used?

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!!
