Lecture 18: Tubular Reabsorption and Secretion Flashcards
For a substance to be reabsorbed it must be transported to where?
across the tubular epithelial membranes into the renal interstitial fluid
through the particular capillary membrane back into the blood
What channels is water transported through?
aquaporins
Where is aquaporin 1 located?
widespread, including renal tubules
Where is aquaporin 2 located?
present in apical membranes of collating tubule cells
controlled by ADH
Where is aquaporin 3 located?
present in basolateral membranes of collecting tubule cells
_______ establish ionic gradients across nephron cell membranes
ATPases
Describe ENaC channels
found in apical membrane of nephron cells
closed by drug amiloride
opened by number of hormones
Where are CTFR and K+ channels found?
apical membranes of some segments of nephron
What are some primary active transporters?
Na+ K+ ATPase
H+ATPase
H+K+ATPase
Calcium ATPase
Reabsorption of glucose or amino acids by renal tubule are example of ________ transport
secondary active
What substances are actively secreted into the renal tubules?
creatinine
para aminohippuric acid
What is the transport maximum?
limit to the rate at which the solute can be transported due to saturation of a specific transport system
Transport max for glucose=
375 mg/min
filtered load for glucose =
125 mg/min
GFR x plasma glucose =
125 ml/min x 1 mg/ml
What are some reasons why some passively reabsorbed substances do not have a transport maximum?
rate of diffusion is determined by electrochemical gradient of substance
permeability of the membrane for the substance
time that the fluid contacting the substance remains within the tubule
What does the rate of transport depend on?
electrochemical gradient
time the substance is in the tubule
What is passive water reabsorption coupled to?
sodium reabsorption
Describe the proximal tubule
- highly metabolic with large numbers of mitochondria
- extensive brush border on luminal surfaces
- extensive intercellular and basal channels on interstitial surfaces
