Lec 2-4 - Renal

Question 1

A conceptual measure that is used for the calculation of GFR in mL/min

Answer 1

Clearance

Question 2

Clearance is the blank of plasma that the kidneys can clear of a substance per minute

Answer 2

Volume

Question 3

How to calculate clearance calculation will be on test

Answer 3

Ok

Question 4

Different substances have different blank values

Answer 4

Clearance

Question 5

Some substances do not get blank at all

Answer 5

Filtered

Question 6

Any plasma component in the urine will have a blank clearance value

Answer 6

Non zero

Question 7

Clearance value that is completely removed from plasma

Answer 7

Maximum clearance value

Question 8

Plasma is cleared here and here

Answer 8

Peritubular capillaries (85%), glomerulus (15%)

Question 9

Clearance will equal blank if it is totally cleared

Answer 9

Renal plasma flow

Question 10

Renal artery input =

Answer 10

Renal vein output + ureter output

Question 11

Clearance only equals GFR in blank cases

Answer 11

Special

Question 12

If the kidneys arent working, there will be a build up of blank in the blood

Answer 12

Creatinine

Question 13

Healthy neurons will blank for failing nephrons so GFR will actually blank the extent of nephron loss

Answer 13

Compensate, underestimate

Question 14

Force exerted by plasma fluid on capillary walls

Answer 14

Hydrostatic pressure

Question 15

Pressure that acts against hydrostatic pressure

Answer 15

Osmotic (oncotic) pressure

Question 16

Ultrafiltration pressure formula

Answer 16

Puf = Pgc - Pbs - (Pi)gc

Question 17

Gfr formula

Answer 17

Puf x Kf

Question 18

Kf basically is the blank of the capillaries

Answer 18

Permeability

Question 19

Need to go through these slides

Answer 19

Ok

Question 20

Renal blood flow remains blank so it is pretty much independent of blood pressure values

Answer 20

Constant

Question 21

Mechanism responsible for maintaining the constant blood flow in the kidney

Answer 21

Myogenic

Question 22

An elevated gfr causes blank to enter the nephron

Answer 22

Too much fluid

Question 23

Atp bind to cellular receptors in the blank

Answer 23

Juxtaglomerular apparatus

Question 24

Best indicator of renal function that is the functional measure of the sum of all the nephrons

Answer 24

Glomerular filtration rate
