A

pressure diuresis

18
Q

Sympathetic innervation of kidneys
1.
2.
3.

A
  1. mostly afferent arterioles, some efferent
  2. Justaglomerular cells (renin secretion)
  3. Tubule (Na+ reabsorption)
19
Q

Hydrostatic pressure from across glomerular capillary starts at ____ and ends at _____

A

50, 40

20
Q

colloid osmotic pressure in glomerular capillary changes from ____ to ____

A

25, 30

21
Q

Hydrostatic pressure of Bowman’s capsule is ____

A

10mmHg

22
Q

Net filtration pressure across glomerular capillary is _____

A

10mmHg outward (15 at afferent arteriole side, 0 at efferent arteriole side)

23
Q

Filtration is dependent on 5 things

A
  1. permeability
  2. capillary hydrostatic pressure
  3. filtrate oncotic pressure
  4. plasma oncotic pressure
  5. filtrate hydrostatic pressure
    (filtrate oncotic pressure is normally 0, because large oncotic proteins are not filtered)

pressao efetiva de ultrafiltracao=peuf

24
Q

Oncotic pressure due to presence of proteins in plasma (increases/decreases) as fluid flows through the glomerular capillaries

A

Increases

25
Q

A

sympathetics

26
Q

Efferent arteriole is changed by ________

A

angiotensin II
tubuloglomerular feedback

27
Q

Protein oncotic pressure is changed by _______

A

plasma protein concentration
barrier integrity

28
Q

Renal blood flow:
afferent constriction causes ___RBF, ___GFR, ___Peri Reabs

A

decrease RBF, decrease GFR, increase Peri Reabs

29
Q

A

decrease RBF, increase GFR, increase Peri Reabs

30
Q

32
Q

3 layers filtrate passes through from glomerular capillaries to Bowman’s capsule

A

barreira de filtracao

  1. Capillary endo (fenestrated), keeps RBC’s out ENDOTELIO
  2. Basement membrane, has a “-“ charge, keeps proteins out MBG
  3. Bowman’s capsule epi. small holes that do more filtering of big particles=estruturas podocitarias
